Abstract: The need to find the solution to problems in regulation has been with us since the first regulator was installed and will be with us until there is no need to use gas pressure to transport gas in adequate volumes. There must have been many blow-outs of the earliest pipelines when operators could not control the gas pressure. This led to having a man throttle a valve to control the volume and pressure by using the sound gas made in passing through the valve opening. There were many problems in using this method and from this, troubleshooting gas regulation began. Today this type of job uses many modern electrical and mechanical devices to tell the conditions of gas flow, but occasionally, it still comes down to a man listening to the sound gas makes in passing through a valve. The trouble-shooter will use the most modern methods and also the most elementary, what is needed most is to arrive at the quickest solution for each type of problem. This is mainly gained through experience, but there are aids to help with the solution, which can be prepared before the problem occurs.
