Low/ No Gas pressure...please help

[wheeto]

Yes is the short answer to your question but here's the long hand answer:

U6 meter - 6m[SUP]3[/SUP]/hr of gas

Here's the maths wheeto:

Heat input = (Gas Rate x Calorific Value of gas)/3.6

or

(6 x 38.6)/3.6 = 64.33 kW/hr

A U6/E6 meter will therefore supply appliances up to the value of 64kW max guaranteed! Any more than that required for the property and you'll require a larger gas meter!

Thanks for the maths, but you still got the unit wrong ... it's 64kW, not kW/h.

That's kind of sad that you'd question someone's GSR credentials on something so trivial! Hohummmmmm You're most likely right too wheeto but it detracts from the point I was getting accross to the op! Give yourself a pat on the back though for knowing your kW from your kW/hrs :clap:

Sorry. I'm sure you know I wasn't genuinely questioning your credentials - hence the emoticon in the first post - but everyone has pet peeves and one of mine is meaningless* units

Anyway you're right ... it's not helping the OP!

*OK, technically I suppose kW/hr is a unit of rate of change of power, struggling to find an application though.

It seems the OP has left the building!

We obviously weren't helpful enough or didn't tell them what they wanted to hear!

it sounds simple fault to me,if there getting 21 at the boiler but its dropping to zero when theres a a demand the governors shot

I'd say this too except the problem only occurs on the new boiler and not the existing one.

existing one could be standard efficiency new one band a zero governor,old one will work with a dodgy governor new one wont

does that take into account the diversity factor for meter sizing?

i found it hard that some even posted suggesting what to test and look for without the OP showing any knowledge or competence. I know its hard to judge and we all give information out in good faith. You get shot down if you question people who in escence are strangers.
For all we know its somebody whos done the work themselves and is up tit creek now it does not work and nobody they have phoned will touch it. who knows?? you cant always believe what somebody has posted on the internet, if you read my online dating profile im 6ft5 and hung like a horse...... sadly only one of them is true
