Abstract: Over the past 25 years engineers in the natural gas in- dustry have come to depend on the computer as a tool to perform complex hydraulic network analysis. Analysis, which would take weeks to perform by hand or by punch- card machines 30 years ago, can now be accomplished in mere hours or sometimes seconds. Today gas net- work analysis software, though complex and extremely sophisticated, has become very user friendly. Low cost PCs, inexpensive software and flexible software licensing now make it possible for almost anyone to have access to these powerful engineering tools. Today, more and more non-technical persons are using this cutting edge tech- nology to perform analyses that were once performed by specialists. Although computer technology has paved the way for a new generation of gas network analysis enthusiasts, it is important that fundamental gas pipeline hydraulic con- cepts are not forgotten. Its imperative that users of net- work analysis software know what is going on behind the scenes.
