    Hey folks!

    Does anybody know what pressure bord gais deliver gas to houses at? I need to spec a flowmeter to monitor fuel consumption and don't know what pressure to quote.
    I have seen 20mbar mentioned in some boiler manuals but this seems very low? is this a gauge pressure or something?

    Cheers lads,

    As far as I know general distribution pressure is 4 Bar. Transmission pressure between AGI's is 19 or 70 Bar.

    BUT as Kearnsr says check with Bord Gais.

    As far as I know BGE give developers a booklet on this kind of thing. I dont have one any more but I'm fairly sure I had it in the past

    From memory they test domestic gas installations to twice the normal pressure with Air and leave it sitting at that pressure to make sure there is no leaks, i think this is done to 10bar, so 4 bar sounds about right for the supply pressure.

    Maybe if you ask over on the DIY forum a plumber/gas fitter would know...
