Abstract: The magic formula for piping design downstream of a gas regulator has yet to be developed. Consequently there is little similarity in the design of regulator stations among companies in the gas industry. The reason for this is because each engineer will have his own personal theories about what is going on inside of the piping system. Nevertheless there is one part of the flow path, downstream of the regulator, that sliould be a key and perhaps even a warning to influence design. This is shown in Figure II1 which tells us that there will tae a very intense stream of gas exiting the regulator that will be most uncoojierative, Ive expect gas in this condition to slow down just because the pipe diameter could allow our desired velocity under ideal conditions. The conditions are far from ideal and the best bet is to cooperate with the high velocity stream rather than try to change it abruptly.
