Accent is on determination of appropriate friction factor, and on selection of representative equation for natural gas flow under presented conditions in the network. In this paper is shown method for the hydraulic solution of a looped gas-pipeline networks for valuable condition in the network. Inappropriate usage of friction factor, equally as inappropriate usage of gas flow equation can lead to inaccurate final results. Causes for these deviations are investigated in one real case, and improved and more accurate procedure is shown.
