Can anyone tell me what is the best way to figure out how long it would take to pressure up a 12" pipeline 52,000 feet from atmospheric to 300 psig using nitrogen at a rate of 1MMCF/Day?

Calculate the mass of nitrogen at 300 psig that is contained in the pipeline volume. Divide that by the mass rate of 1 MMSCFD. The time is then the time units of the input flow. If you need to get the density at 300 psig and/or standard conditions, go to www.checalc.com.
