Abstract: A brief history of the Pipeline Research Committee (PRC) of the American Gas Association (A.G.A.) along with budgets and project numbering is discussed. The formulation of the Corrosion Research Supervising Committee as sponsored by PRC is presented and followed by a method of project introductions for research and supervision. The original Pipeline Research Committee (PRC) of the American Gas Association (A.G.A.) assembled for the first time on December 15, 1952, with a meeting of 16 persons from 15 natural gas companies and an A.G.A. representative. The objective of this formation was to investigate ways of overcoming operating problems and to bring forth means of promoting safe and efficient pipehne operations through research. The following year a research program was initiated with a budget of less than 200,(XX). The need for research in the pipeline field was recognized by the American Standards Association (ASA) B31.8 Code Committee as early as 1950 when several unusual pipeline breaks occurred while gas tests were being performed on a new 30-inch diameter pipeline.
