Feel free to conact me via e mail if I can help. I am an EE/ChE and my specialty is copper fin condensing boilers up to 3.5MBtuH-Since there are about 1000 btus per cubic foot you can quickly calculate the volume of natural gas needed. Even is the actual natural gas stream is only 900 btus per cubic foot, the sizing of the line should have some tolerance in it to allow for variations in pressure and btu content. If an electrical engineer asked a question about converting btus to volume,......
Between us electrical engineers, what you know intimidates almost every other discipline - and for good reason:)
Suggest you let them have their "expertise" and you dazzle them with yours - at the apporpriate time.
Good luck!

If an electrical engineer asked a question about converting btus to volume, I would not think that is a dumb question. Just as an electrical engineer might talk about KVA's or KW's, if I didn't know exactly what he was saying, I would not feel dumb asking what he meant.
