Abstract: INTRODUCTION Approaches to District Regulator and Load Distribution vary as to the plant location, terrain, type of city, type of customer, load factor, operating people, and management personnel as well as other factors. The primary forces determining its makeup in a private capital gas company are customer satisfaction and economics. Distribution Regulators and Load Distribution can also be described as the art of getting gas to the right place, at the right time, in the right volume, and at the right pressure while giving a reasonable return on necessary investment. As hard as we might try to or as much as we might want to, we cannot separate economics from the design and operation of a distribution plant. It has been said that there is no such thing as a properly designed plant. This could be true because what is right today will probably be inadequate in some facet next year, and a system best for one type load may be undesirable or inadequate for another. In any distribution plant we must establish the type of main system to be used pressures at which to operate supply and distribution mains the type, size and location of regulating facilities equipment to be used to prevent over pressure as well as what records and maintenance activities will be required. Without attempting to go into specific detail on any of these facets, we will discuss each.
