The two types of gas pipelines in the UK are: large diameter high-pressure (up to 85 [28] bar (1200 psi) and 1050 mm (41¼") [28] diameter) pipelines – the type that the NTS uses – and smaller diameter lower pressure pipelines that connect to users who burn gas for heat. The wall thickness of the high-pressure pipelines is up to 0.625 ...
the thread size; Threads are normally right-hand. For left-hand threads, the letters, LH, are appended. Example: Pipe thread EN 10226 Rp 2 + 1 ⁄ 2. The terminology for the use of G and R originated from Germany (G for gas, as it was originally designed for use on gas pipes; R for rohr, meaning pipe.)
30,000 m 3 (1,100,000 cu ft) blast furnace gas holder at Rautaruukki Steel in Finland. A gas holder or gasholder, also known as a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas (coal gas or formerly also water gas) is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of ...
In North America and the UK, pressure piping is usually specified by Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) and schedule (SCH). Pipe sizes are documented by a number of standards, including API 5L, ANSI/ASME B36.10M (Table 1) in the US, and BS 1600 and BS 1387 in the United Kingdom. Typically the pipe wall thickness is the controlled variable, and the Inside ...
Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...
The four-mile (6 km) spur of Feeder Main FM06 transports gas to a pigging and pressure reduction station at Cowpen Bewley in Stockton-on-Tees, where gas is delivered into the Regional Transmission System, there are also connections to the 24-inch Feeder Main FM06 from Little Burdon to Billingham and into the 42-inch Feeder Main FM13 from Cowpen ...

The GPSS was originally constructed between 1941 and 1944 and then extended after the war, most notably during the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s. [1] The first commercial pipeline to be constructed in the United Kingdom was built in 1959 by Shell-Mex and BP from the GPSS depot at Walton on Thames to Heathrow Airport.
