If you have two gases of the same Wobbe Index, but different HHVs

Given the same pipeline with the same pressure limits (not that it matters, but in the order of 8-10MPa for a high pressure pipeline), obviously.

I'm reasonably sure this would be the case...

That was my thought too. I've been in school for chemical engineering for nigh on a decade and never heard of either of these.

A brief look at Wiki tells me that they probably would, since the Wobbe index is in standard units and you're talking about relatively high pressures. Unless the compressibilities of the materials were also identical, then there should be a difference. Density could also play a role as the material properties change due to potential energy changes during pumping.

HHV & Wobbe are both pretty crucial pipeliner concepts, and this is HT

Wobbe is HHV/sqrt of SG.

Any further thoughts?

Now you're just making shit up.

Yeah, I found that

It is wikipedia however, and while I think it confirms my thoughts on this, I'd be foolish to put all my eggs in the wiki-basket.
