Flare Sizing Calculation Sheet

This document provides calculations for sizing a flare stack for a natural gas facility. It includes input data on vapor flow rates, temperatures, and wind velocities. The calculations determine the inside diameter of 0.19m, flame length of 21.61m, and required flare stack height of 21.26m to ensure safe dispersion of gases. A diagram references the dimensional requirements including the horizontal and vertical distance of the flame center from the top of the stack. The results are then compared to another software program showing good agreement between the calculated parameters.
