100 Gas Distribution

Course 100 - Gas Distribution: Operations: [84 pages]:

Course Summary: This workbook addresses typical Natural Gas Distribution tasks technicians

perform daily. Task include Operator Qualification, Damage Prevention, Corrosion Control,

installing and removing meters, regulators testing, relief valves testing, Over-Pressure Protection,

installing steel and plastic pipe, tapping, leak detection and classification and other typical

activities.

Course 101 - Gas Distribution: Corrosion Control & Cathodic Protection: [124 pages]:

Course Summary: Corrosion is one of the most important operational concerns encountered by the

Company and other owners and operators of underground metallic facilities. If corrosion is not

controlled, it can result in great costs in facility replacement. It can result in even greater costs from

damage to public property, the environment, and become a risk to public safety. Corrosion control

personnel must have a good basic understanding of the corrosion mechanism. They also need to know

the various conditions under which corrosion can occur on underground facilities. Corrosion is the

deterioration of a material due to it reacting with its environment. This definition applies to all material,

such as paint fading in sunlight. This course focuses on the corrosion effects on metals. Metals such as

iron (Fe) are mined as ores, which are refined and alloyed for use. The refined iron or alloyed steel

reacts with the environment and forms iron oxides, commonly called rust. The term rust is reserved for

the oxidation of iron or steel. To safely and economically prevent the destructive nature of corrosion, the

principles of corrosion, material properties, corrosion testing techniques and the corrosive nature of the

environment must be applied.

Course 102: Gas Distribution: Fundamentals of Gas Measurement: [83 pages]:

Course Summary: This course, addressing gas measurement fundamentals, is designed to

acquaint technicians with foundational measurement principles. We will also see the importance

of measurement to a company, both in terms of revenues and safety. Essentially, the

measurement of gas is the process of determining an unknown. Before the gas is received by the

distribution company, it first leaves the well and flows into a pipeline. For the landowner, the

producer, the state government and the transporter (pipeline company) to receive proper payment

for the gas, we must determine several unknown factors:

1. Pressure.

2. Temperature.

3. Gravity.

4. Composition of the gas.

5. Differential on the meter.

6. Size of the meter tube.

7. Size of the orifice plate.

Course 229 - Transmitters - 4 to 20 mA:[36 pages]:

Course Summary: In today’s energy industry electronic instrument loops are common devices

used to effective transmit and communicate data and other key operating parameters. Electronic

data communications often requires a translator to make information understandable from one

source to another. In instrument loops the transducer inside a transmitter plays the role of a

translator, allowing instruments that operate with different input/output signals to communicate

with each other. The transducer converts transmitting sensor information into a standard

instrument signal and the transmitter amplifies the signal for transmission over relatively long

increase of stored internal energy). If the enclosing vessel is fitted with a piston so that the air

can be compressed into smaller volume, the moving piston delivers energy to the molecules,

causing them to move with increased velocity. As with heating, this results in a temperature

increase. Thus, the work of compression is stored as internal energy in the air. Furthermore, all

of the molecules have been forced into smaller space which results in an increased number of

collisions on a unit area of the wall. This, together with increased molecule velocity, results in

increased pressure.

Analyzing to aid in determining the status of cathodic protection systems and any additional

requirements for prevention of active corrosion.

Compare the most recent pipe-to-soil survey data to the previous year’s data and report any

change that exceeds 100-millivolts. If a single test point indicates a change, this may be an

indication of an interference problem that may require additional evaluations

Evaluate each cased crossing to determine if there has been a substantial increase in the casing

potential. This may indicate a possible short or stray current.

At vertical risers and exposed pipe, place the electrode approximately 12 to 18 inches from the

pipe protruding from the ground (riser).

When the potential is below the established criteria, take another reading with the electrode 18 to

24 inches from the pipe.

Course 792: Rectifiers: [35 PPT slides]:

Course Summary: The process of changing AC power to DC power. A device that is used to

make this change is called a rectifier. A rectifier is a unidirectional device: it allows current to

pass through it in one direction. Converting current flow from alternating directions to

unidirectional results in pulsating DC (rippling DC). Since diodes are unidirectional devices,

they can be used as rectifiers.

Course 793: Rectifier Inspection: [16 PPT slides]:

Course Summary: A rectifier is simply a device that converts AC power to DC power.

Alternating current (AC) reverses polarity as it flows. The electrons in an AC circuit flow back

and forth continuously. Direct current (DC) flows in only one direction. The flow of electrons in

a DC circuit is similar to the flow of water in a piping system.

Course 794: Rectifier Troubleshooting: [18 PPT slides]:

terminals, open groundbed leads and lightning damage. For more difficult problems,

systematically isolate the rectifier components until the defective part is found.

Course 795: Ground beds: [10 PPT slides]:

Course Summary: When a rectifier indicates a loss of current output, first confirm that the

rectifier is working properly by attaching a temporary ground to the positive terminal of the

rectifier. The current output should increase, if it doesn’t a survey should be conducted to

determine groundbed performance. Groundbed Survey: Measure voltage drop between two

electrodes, one placed 50 feet from the pipeline and groundbed and another moved along the

groundbed. Compare the readings at the anode locations. The highest readings will be at the

working anodes.

Course 796: Current Interrupters: [6 PPT slides]:

Course 904: Gas Sampling - Students Workbook: [15 pages]:

Course Summary: Natural gas sales, purchases and transportation settlements (points of

custody transfer) are normally based on total energy transferred rather than by total gas volume.

The determination of the total energy requires both the energy content of the gas per cubic foot

and the volume of gas. The energy content or heating value is determined in units of Btu per

cubic foot. The determination of gas volume calculation factors (relative density and

compressibility) require that elements of the gas's composition be known. Since natural gas

varies in composition from source to source, the BTU and volume calculation factors must be

determined either on-site or as the result of an analysis of a representative gas sample.

Course 918: Ultrasonic Flow Meters & Custody Transfer - Student Guide: [33 pages]:

Course Summary: Doppler flowmeters usually are based on the principle that the frequency of

ultrasonic waves reflected from scatterers within the moving medium is shifted in proportion to

the velocity of the scatterers. It is usually presumed and sometimes verified, that the scatterers

travel at the local fluid velocity, but this condition is not always satisfied. The fractional Doppler

shift q f/f can be shown to equal the rate at which the travel time of the sound between source

and receiver is changing. Sometimes one distinguishes between conventional or kinematic

Doppler effect (due to relative motion between source and observer) and the dynamic Doppler

effect (associated with energy interchanges such as scattering, reradiation). This course

explores Ultrasonic Meter operations and there use in custody transfer..

Course 1212: Handling & Transportation Guide for Ethylene:[93 pages]

Course Summary: Ethylene is a colorless gas having a faint, slightly sweet odor. It is

practically insoluble in water. Cold ethylene gas is heavier than air and may travel a considerable

distance to a source of ignition. Cryogenic ethylene weighs approximately 4.7 pounds per gallon

at its boiling point at atmospheric pressure. Ethylene is not significantly toxic by inhalation, but

high concentrations may be anesthetic or may cause asphyxiation via displacement of air.

Contact with cryogenic ethylene and concentrated cold ethylene gas may cause frostbite.

Ethylene is transported as a compressed gas or cryogenic liquid and used for a variety of

applications, including refrigeration and for making plastics and organic chemicals. Containers

of cryogenic ethylene may rupture violently if exposed to fire or excessive heat for sufficient

time duration. Products of combustion may include carbon monoxide.

Course 1214: Generations in the Workplace (Power Point):[41 slides]

Course Summary: Today, as America is once again a, if not the, dominant global economic

force, there is a more cautious, wary attitude in the halls of American commerce. To paraphrase

Charles Dickens, we are living organizationally and individually, in a best of times and yet a

worst of times. It is particularly true in terms of the human drama of life on the shop floor and

the cubical level. No job is “safe,” no career assured in a work world where the pace of

organizational acquisition, consolidation, and rapid directional change has been unrelenting for a

decade. It should be no surprise that in this environment there is a growing sense of individual

and generational enmity. “Us” versus “Them” and “every man, woman, and child for himself”

attitudes are easy to comprehend – and empathize with.

Course Summary: A structure-to-electrolyte (pipe-to-soil) potential is a measure of voltage

difference between a reference electrode and a structure. To measure these voltage differences,

multi-meters (voltmeters) and electrodes (copper-copper-sulfate reference cell) are used by

connecting these devices between the pipeline and the ground (electrolyte). This course will

review the multi-meter and reference cell set-up process in collecting electrical potential readings

at tests stations.

Course 1505: Test Stations 101 (Power Point): [18 slides]

Course Summary: A structure-to-electrolyte (pipe-to-soil) potential is a measure of voltage

difference between a reference electrode and a structure. Corrosion technicians collect these

electrical potential readings on pipelines at test stations. A test station is simply a wire connected

to the pipeline in such a way to allow electrical connection. Test stations are used for:

• Evaluation of cathodic protection levels on a pipeline

• Allowing current drain in a bond

• Attachment of anode beds through an aboveground facility
