This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The Federal Energy Regulatory Comm. (FERC) approves the location, construction and operation of interstate pipelines, facilities and storage fields involved in moving natural gas across state boundaries. Although pipelines are buried underground, they may have associated facilities that are above-ground such as taps, valves, metering stations, or compressor stations. If a proposed pipeline route is on, or abuts your land, you will probably first learn of this from the co. concerned.

Analyzes the various elements that influence the design of a single-phase pipeline system constructed to transport a gas or liquid, usually over a long distance. The authors review the general flow equation for compressible fluids and gases, methods to maintain gas pressure, the operation of pumping
