Abstract: My talk will deal with the Application and Maintenance of Low Pressure and High Pressure Regulators as applied to my company, Iroquois Gas Corporation. As background Iroquois might be called a medium-large company, supplying over 400,000 customers, having a peak demand of about 800 MMCF/day, and having over 1,000 regulator stations of all sizes and categories. About 400 of these are large low pressure stations, about 100 are Uirge high pressure stations and the remainder are small settings using either a service regulator for low pressure delivery or a farm tap regulator for high pressure supply. Our major low pressure stations have evolved over the years into one basic design. Figs. 1 and 2) These stations are above ground, housed in a brick or metal building, and consist of an oil cleaner, orifice fitting, low pressure regulator and oil seal type relief valve. Practically all our low pressure regulators are supplied by one manufacturer, and are dead weight operated with linkage connected double valves. This type equipment is simple, rugged, relatively trouble-free, and will not generally fail closed.
