Bright, G F

A discussion of the increasing activity of natural gas pipeline companies in the analysis of the overpressure protection methods for complying with the provisions of Part 192, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations ''Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipelines; Minimum Federal Safety Standards'' and with the USAS B31.8 Code covers the basic requirements for protection against accidental overpressure as being essentially the same in both documents, i.e., at the maximum allowable operating overpressure in a gas system can be exceeded either at a compressor station or downstream of a pressure control valve; mandatory use of overpressure protection devices in these situations, except for those cases which exempt some service regulators because the distribution system pressure is less than 60 psig and six other requirements of design, performance, and size are met; and basic design requirements of a pressure relief or limiting station and the components used.
