Think of a straw you suck soda pop through. Now, think of blowing (not sucking) the soda (natural gas) through the straw. The straw is attached to thousands of straws that "y" and "t" or "elbow" to take the gas in differant directions, to Towns, Brick Plants, Steel Plants, Cities, Towns, ect. Normally this first stage area is at a high pressure, 60 psig upwards to over 1000 psig. Along these "straws" there is equipment to maintain the pressure at a safe transporting level, or the are regulators that cut the line pressure down. These pressure cuts happen a number of times to get it to be delivered to your house at around 4 oz. (you could put your thumb over the end of a 4 oz line and have no problem holding it back. If it was at 20 psi, a young strong person my hold it back for a few mins, then let go. No lets take that up to the FAR END of the system. If you TRIED to hold back a 100, 500, 1000, 5000 psg line, one issue is over 250 psig it sounds like a roaring jet engin. I doubt anyone could take a steel plate and hold it up against a jet as it's burners are coming online. THAT is a small glimps to what a pipeline is like. One end, no man can hold back its power, on the other end, grandma can controll it just like her control over you when she says apple pie is ready, YOU RUN TO THE PIE!
I have heard 250 PSIG and 320 PSIG scream. It'd likt standing next to a big jet as it's taking off.

What is the difference between mother and daughter CNG station?
Online Station:Online stations are directly connected with the Natural Gas Pipeline. At online station, natural Gas is received at a pressure of 19 barg and then compressed upto a pressure of 250 barg with the help of a reciprocating compressor in order to enhance the on board storage capacity of vehicle. Then, it is dispensed to vehicles locally through CNG dispensers at a pressure of 200 barg. Typically a CNG Online Stations consists of following equipments:CNG CompressorCNG DispenserStorage CascadeMother Station:Mother stations are similar to an online station, where it has the facility to refuel the mobile cascades in addition to the local demand of vehicles. These mobile cascades are then dispatched to other stations, which do not have the connectivity of pipeline.Daughter Station:Daughter stations do not have the connectivity of natural gas pipeline. At these stations, compressed natural gas (CNG) is transported through mobile cascades (bunch of cylinders mounted on trucks) at a pressure of 240-250 barg and then dispensed to vehicles through CNG dispensers. In fact, under stopped condition of CNG Compressor, a mother/online station acts as a Daughter Station and dispensed the gas from the local storage cascades.

Describe the use of pipelines in means of transport?
pipeline transport is tranportatation good through a pipe. liquied and gas substances are send through pneumatic tubes that transport solid capsules using compressed air through pipelines which move the substance from one place to another by the preasure
What are the disadvantage of pipeline transport?
One of the disadvantages of pipeline transport is that a small leak can be disastrous, such as the one in Kenya that killed many people and made others homeless. Leaks can be harder to spot because pipelines run through wilderness areas.
What are the disadvantage of pipeline?
The disadvantage of pipeline transportation are: (1) specific and strong, can only transport oil, natural gas and solid slurry (such as coal), but in the field it occupies, with a fixed and reliable market; (2) pipeline from input the magnitude of the amount of the highest traffic among small, so in the early field
What is the name of the gas that you use in your oven?
It is either Natural Gas that comes into the house through pipes. Propane and Butane comes in tanks. Gas ovens burn what is usually called natural gas; chemists know this as methane, or CH4. In areas where natural gas pipeline service is not available (or in RV's), then propane or butane is used.
Which state did a oil pipeline run through one of the largest states?
North dakota

What could cause Jet Fuel A MSEP ratings to degrade as the fuel passes through a pipeline system?
Contamination with a fuel containing surfactants could cause the MSEP rating to degrade as it passes through a pipeline. See also the links below.
