Abstract: Although telemetering is not a new art, little was heard about its use in the gas industry until a few decades ago. Telemetering, the art of measuring at a distance, came into prominence in the gas utility field with the expansion of transmission and distribution systems. Further impetus was given to its use by the requirements for higher operating efficiency. Naturally, the new code on Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems known as ASA B31.1.9-1955, published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, will tend to further the use of telemeter. Referring to Article 855.2 of the above code, we quote Every distribution system supplied by more than one district pressure regulating station shall be equipped with telemetering or recording pressure gauges to indicate the gas pressure in the districl. . . . Suitable periodic inspections of single district pressure regulation stations not equipped with telemetering or recording gauges shall be made to determine that the pressure regulating equipment is functioning properly.
