Abstract: Aging, bare steel gas distribution mains are a common inheritance of utilities. Our forefathers installed these systems many years ago with what was considered the best method available. Although they have provided good service over the years, many have reached a stage where corrosion leaks are a chronic problem. Today we must cope with this situation in a way that will satisfy the stringent safety and economic facts of life. Baltimore Gas and Electric has over 250 miles of bare steel in its gas distribution system. These pipelines range in size from 2 inches to 8 inches and operate, for the most part, at pressures in the order of 99.0 psig. Many are in the feeder main category.
