Note:
To determine the flow rate for a steam or gas velocity other than 6000 fpm, multiply the
value from the appropriate table by the ratio (R):
![]()
Where Vm is the intended velocity of the flow rate.

Table 2d
To determine the flow rate for a 6000 fpm velocity for pipe other than schedule 40, multiply the value from the appropriate table, by the value from the following table for the desire pipe schedule and size:
