Summary
The present study is an update and extension of those already reported. It illustrates the results obtained from ordinary maintenance operations on six large sets of urban mains with a view to optimasing the establishment of a reliability data bank. The study undescores the extreme individuality of gas distribution plants and the need for a sector data bank. A prototype form for the collection of pressure Regulating Installations (PRI) faults and breakdowns is also presented.
