Excerpt from State and Municipal Regulations for the Quality, Distribution, and Testing of Illuminating Gas
Although it can not be expected that methods employed in testing gas will ever be entirely uniform throughout the country, it was believed that if the results of a thorough study of the subject were published greater uniformity of -method and in some cases more accurate measurements would result.
This study has 111 no way concerned itself with the financial regulation of gas companies; nor has it included any consideration of the compara tive value of various methods employed in works management. It deals rather with methods of testing and the properties and constants of the materials and apparatus used. We have gone outside this field of study only so far as is essential to an intelligent understanding of those points with which We are more immediately concerned.
A study of the laboratory and field methods to be used in the testing of gas and the inspection of gas service has necessitated a preliminary investigation of legal requirements, particularly of those concerning the testing and inspection service. The results of this study, which are pre sented 1n this circular, have furnished much information of value and have led to some important conclusions as to the desirability of certain regula tions. A circular on the chemical testing of gas and the measurement of the Candlepower and heating value will be issued later.
The attitude of the Bureau is entirely advisory, and its intention is only to place 1n the hands of the technical and general public an impartial' and, as nearly as may be, accurate summary of the facts which must be considered in connection with the inspection and testing of the quality and distribution of illuminating gas.
