What Is Considered High Pressure Natural Gas? - UtilitySmarts
WEBDepending on the number of homes or businesses supplied by the line, the natural gas pressure in the gas line leading to the home might range from 1/4 psi to 60 psi. Large-volume pipelines used to transport gas from well fields to municipal utilities can have pressures of up to 1,500 psi.
What Are the Differences Between the Types of Gas Lines?
WEBOct 10, 2018 · These high pressures are needed to move the gas from producing regions to local distribution companies (LDCs), which can be a distance of thousands of miles. Transmission pipelines are typically designed to handle much greater pressure than will ever be required as a safety measure.
Natural Gas Piping - Sizing vs. Capacity - The Engineering ToolBox
WEBSizing natural gas pipes - pressures above 5 psi (35 kPa). The tables and diagrams below can be used to size natural gas pipes with pressures above 5 psi (35 kPa) . For full table - rotate the screen! For natural gas the nominal BTU/cf varies …
Natural gas pipelines - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
WEBWide-diameter, high-pressure interstate transmission pipelines that cross state boundaries and intrastate transmission pipelines that operate within state boundaries transport natural gas from the producing and processing areas to storage facilities and distribution centers.
WEBSince most gas appliances operate on 1/4 pounds pressure (psi) this is more than enough. In most cases high pressure (2 psi and up) is reserved for commercial and industrial applications. The supplier marks the meter to alert of high pressure.

WEBInterstate pipelines are the ‘highways’ of natural gas transmission. Natural gas that is transported through interstate pipelines travels at high pressure in the pipeline, at pressures anywhere from 200 to 1500 pounds per square inch (psi).
Gas Gathering Regulatory Overview | PHMSA - Pipeline and …
WEBAug 6, 2024 · The volume of gas produced from the shale plays resulted in larger diameter, higher pressure gathering lines. The updated 2021 regulations address these larger diameters lines in class 1 locations that were not previously regulated.
