Abstract: The growth and development of the gas industry over the past few years have been phenomenal. In this time, housing developments have reached far into the suburbs of our cities and new communities have grown, resulting in an increased demand for gas service. This, coupled with the extension of gas service to the smaller cities and industrial users, has presented to the transmission companies the responsibility of meeting a far larger demand. Their answer has been to increase transmission pressures to the point where today line pressures of 1000 p.s.i. are the rule rather than the exception. To the regulator man, this presents a problem as extremely large reductions to pressures suitable for measurement and delivery to the distribution companies have to be achieved. Further difficulties are encountered in the case of the smaller cities, where flow demands are often low, and in the case of the industrial user who often shuts down his plant over the week end, requring tight shut-off of the regulator.
