We all know that purchasing legal copies of gas industry standards, for that matter all technical standards, is a pricey affair on individual level. But that doesn’t mean that there are no free lunches…there are…:)
You may visit the following link to download legal copies of some free standards from IGEM (Institute of Gas Engineers & Managers).

I am sure you will find these useful, specially, IGEM/G/4 ‘Definitions for the gas industry’.

Don't reinvent the wheel, use PODS
I am back.
Sorry, I was swamped with work and couldn’t post anything in Aug and September.
Two weeks back I attended 2011 PODS User Conference in Sugarland, Texas. It was a great experience. For those, who don’t know what PODs is, PODS stands for ‘Pipeline Open Data Standard’. It is becoming (in fact has already become) the ‘Industry Standard’ for Pipeline Industry Data Model.
If you are thinking of implementing any IT system related to Integrity Management, Asset Management, Risk Management, GIS etc., do consider it from PODS perspective. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel of data model for your company. You can leverage PODS.
If you want more details on the Data Model, you can visit their website.
I also suggest going through the presentation made in the User Conference. It is a good read. http://www.pods.org/87/Presentations/
Wish you all a Happy and SAFE Diwali! (Keep an eye on your service regulators and keep your LP Drawings ready and handy to handle emergency)
Let there be gas! :)
