Abstract: The subject of gas regulation is practically unlimited and could never be completely covered in a paper such as this, therefore, this discussion will be limited to regulating stations found in Gas Transmission Systems, where main line or inlet pressures are within the range of 500 p.s.i.g. to 1000 p.s.i.g. The first thing to be considered in the design of a regulating station is its location. It is often found that when the stations are, built inside of a municipality, codes for their construction specified in the local laws and regulations are more rigorous than the type of construction that would be used in remote areas. Should the location be in a residential area, elaborate housing may be required, also more thought must be given to designing a noiseless installation when the station is located in a residential area. There are many things which can be done in the design of a station in order to reduce the noise. A few of these which have been used are sound proofing of buildings, lagging headers, installation of silencers and use of sleeve type regulators. We have found that by using sleeve type regulators in place of conventional regulators we have been able to reduce the noise level as much as 25% in the high frequency ranges.
