Abstract: Houston Natural Gas Corporation presently has about 350.000 meters, of which 217,000 are in the Houston Metropolitan area. The remainder are in smaller systems along a line from Silsbee in East Texas to Alice in the southern part of the Texas Gulf Coast. Including the Houston area, there are nine separate distribution systems along this l i ne that are large or complex enough to warrant remote and/or automatic pressure control. Before remote pressure control was used, the men of the pressure control department were out on cold mornings at 3:30 and 4:00 a.m.raising pressures at the regulator stations, packing the lines in order to meet the demands of the peak hour loads. After the peak hours were over and the demands reduced, the pressure control men would again go back to the stations and reduce the pressures.
