Abstract: This discussion will be confined to the construction,operation, and use of district gas regulators to which have been applied temperature boosting and time control equipment. District Gas Regulators are classified as those regulators which supply gas to the low pressure system of a town,this low pressure being that which is required for the low pressure gas-burning equipment of domestic and industrial users. Such district regulators may have as low as one or two pounds on the inlet, but usually this inlet pressure is about five to fifteen pounds. Higher inlet pressures are sometimes encountered but they are the exception rather than the rule. The low pressures delivered to the appliances rarely are less than four ounces and usually are in the range of four to eight ounces but may in some cases, be slightly less than four ounces and occasionally get up to pressures as great as four- teen to sixteen ounces. Usually in a town of any size, there are two or more regulators operating in parallel and liking the gas from the high pressure or inter- connected pressure system and feeding gas into the common low pressure and inter-connected system. each regulator takes care of the gas load or demand in the domestic or industrial area surrounding that particular regulator.
