Abstract: Distribution systems, generallys arc classified as standard pressure, high pressure or a combination of both. Standard pressure distribution are generally those carrying twelve inches water column l7 ouncesj or less. High pressure distribution can be at any pressure in excess of 12 WC, but arc generally those carrying from one to 100 pounds. Where systems become over-loaded due to increased use of gas it is sometimes necessary to increase the pressure over all, or parts, of the system and use HIGH PRESSURE REGULATORS on the services. New systems or additions to the present ones, where high pressure gas is available, are often built of small higli pressure mains. This is nothing new and many companies have been using this method for the past twenty years. It has the advantage of lower first cost and the carrying of large amounts through smaller mains. This eliminates, in many cases, the necessity of calculating the sizes of mains, especially where the growth of a aistrict might be difficult to estimate. The function of the high pressure service rcgulatoi is to reduce widely varying inlet pressures, from one to 100 pounds, to constant outlet pressure of ounces or inches water column, so that the gas will burn easily and efficiently in the normal type of atmosplieric burner.
