Abstract: Increasing natural gas costs are forcing gas companies to look more closely into unaccounted for problems in the areas of measurement accuracy and leakage control. There is presently a proposal being made by regulatory agencies requiring the unaccounted for to be less than five percent. This paper will attempt to show the magnitude of unaccounted for as it is related to distribution system pressure and methods available to reduce the unaccounted for through control of distribution pressure by design, In order to achieve some idea of the magnitude of the savings that can be achieved by otimizing distribution system pressures, actual unaccounted for data for Austin will be used. Accumulative unaccounted for during the last 12 months ending March, 1977, amounted to 1,028,485 MCF or 2,088,855 approximately two percent). The bulk of this is attributable to leakage or measurement error.
