Abstract: For many years the gas regulator has been taken for granted. It has become such a familiar sight we dont stop to realize the importance of this piece of equipment. With the complex pipeline systems of today, every cubic foot of gas passes through many regulators before it is consumed in some process or customer appliance. One of the most important regulating facilities in the gas industry is the district regulator station. It is the source of gas supply to industrial, commercial, and domestic customers from transmission and distribution pipeline systems. Periodic inspections of regulators, relief valves, and control instruments are very important in preventing interruptions. Accurate and dependable service of a regulating facility means constant attention to operating and maintenance and is directly related to a workable inspection program. Todays regulatory agencies, safety practices, new and sophisticated equipment, make more detailed inspections necessary The purpose of this paper is to present guidelines, methods, procedures, and expected results of a district regulator station inspection program. However, each company must make its own interpretation of what is necessary for Regulatory and Contractual Compliance requirements.
