About this app

GBPipe LPG – LPG Pipe Sizing Calculator
Stop trial and error. GBPipe calculates the correct pipe size automatically.

GBPipe LPG has been developed by GB-GAS to make LPG pipe sizing faster, simpler and more accurate.

Instead of repeatedly trying different pipe sizes until one works, GBPipe automatically determines the minimum hydraulic pipe diameter required for your installation.

Whether you're working with propane supplied from cylinders, bulk tanks or LPG meter installations, GBPipe performs the calculations quickly and presents the results in a clear, practical format.
