For low-pressure supplies up to 25 mbar (10 w.c), the pressure drop between the meter and the burner inlet should normally not exceed 1mbar (0.4 w.c). For high-pressure supplies, this pressure drop should not exceed 10% of the available gas pressure. Comtherm Ltd Page 03 Installation & Maintenance Manual...
