A Natural Gas Orifice is Larger.
AnswerYou need to buy a special valve or converter a special valve or converter is NOT necessary. typically the stove burners each need a newer smaller orifice. they are litle socket type brass fittings about 1/4" in diameter (the hole, the orifice, is much smaller)the new orifice can be bought at a applaince part distributor or on-line.the oven typically justs needs an adjustment. no replacement parts are necessary
No, the orifices are sized different between Natural Gas and Propane as their properties are different. Gas Code book has the proper orifice sizes required for each appliance and their BTU's.
No, crude oil used to make Petroleum is the most common type of fossil fuel.
Get a certified technician to work on gas. He will have to change the orifice, possibly the gas valve.
Eccentric type orifice is used for both gas-liquid mixture type flow application.
It is best to contact the appliance manufacturer for correct orifice size when converting from one type of gas to another.

change the gas flow metering orifice size
Gas water heater has an orifice for main burner and for pilot light, if not electronic ignition.

Assuming the following typical conditions:natural gas manifold pressure is 3.5" w.c.propane manifold pressure is 10" w.c.natural gas and propane specific gravities are 0.6 and 1.52 relative to airnatural gas and propane energies per cubic foot are 1038 and 2516 BTUyour orifice coefficients are the samethen the propane orifice diameter should be 0.623 times the natural gas orifice diameter.
No, the orifices are sized different between Natural Gas and Propane as their properties are different. Gas Code book has the proper orifice sizes required for each appliance and their BTU's.
COMMON
yes
the most common gas is water vapor
