*As the height above sea level increases, there is less oxygen per
cubic foot of air. Therefore, heat input rate should be reduced at
higher altitudes.

*Derating of the unit is not required unless the heating value of the gas
exceeds the values listed in the table above, or if the elevation exceeds
6000 ft. Derating conditions must be 4% per thousand ft above sea
level. For example, at 4000 ft, if the heating value of the gas exceeds
1000 Btu/ft
3
, the unit will require a 16% derating. For elevations above
6000 ft, the same formula applies. For example, at 7000 ft, the unit will
require a 28% derating of the maximum heating value per the National
Fuel Gas Code.
