The 2006 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) states the following when sizing pipe: G2413.3 (402.3) Sizing. Gas piping shall be sized in accordance with one of the following: 1. Pipe sizing tables or sizing equations in accordance with Section G2413.4. 2. The sizing tables included in a listed piping system’s manufacturer’s installation instructions. 3. Other approved engineering methods. A quick answer is to let the professiojnals do it. Pipe sizing can get a little complicated if you are not using method 2 above.
