Title: Stresses In Pipeline

Abstract: The first gas pipelines were laid in 1807 in England. The buried pipelines carrying the gas, used the techniques which evolved from the period before the rule of the Romans, with the materials then commercially available. One unverified story is that lead pipe was too expensive at the time for use for the then experimental gas lines used. Worn out musket barrels were the initial service pipes. Since pressures were low, the major function of the gas pipe was to serve mainly as a conduit. The pipes were laid in carefully bedded earth, using the same techniques as had been used for thousands of years in laying ceramic drainage piping.
