Title: The Brooklyn Union Gas Company Experience With Excess Flow Valves
Author: Bernard L. Liebler

Abstract: Brooklyn Union has historically operated a low-pressure, cast iron distribution system. The company, originally known as the Brooklyn Gas Light Co., began operating in the mid-nineteenth century. After over 100 years, the entire operating philosophy had become tuned to low pressures. Then, in 1957, Brooklyn Union acquired the New York and Richmond Gas Co., which served Slaten Island with a primarily high pressure system. Since our operating experience made us comfortable principally with low pressure, we were more eager than most to test excess flow valves (EFVs) when they became available in (he mid-60s. A great deal of this eagerness stems from our philosophy regarding escaping gas.
