    Most all the packagers have charts for sizing

    the capacities of the medical air and vacuum source equipment.

    Who, has or where can I find charts / calculator for the pipeline itself ?

    I would be happy to share my pipe sizing charts but for some reason I cannot paste them on the reply form.

     The charts I have have been used in hospital's for years in sizing 300 / 400 beds facilities and down. Larger facilities would require calculating using lpm or scfm and friction losses.

     Additionally long runs require calc's with the lpm / scfm method. The charts work great for under 300 feet for positive gases and 500 for medical vacuum.
