What is the PSIG range for Intermediate Pressure?

• A. 0 - 2 PSIG
• B. 5 - 10 PSIG
• C. 1 - 5 PSIG
• D. 10 - 20 PSIG

Answer: (C)

In gas operations, gauge pressure (PSIG) is pressure above atmospheric pressure, and pressures are categorized to match equipment and safety controls. Intermediate Pressure sits between the very low, consumer-side pressures and the higher pressures used in transmission. The defined range for intermediate pressure is 1 to 5 PSIG, which provides enough pressure to feed regulators and meters reliably while staying within the safe operating limits of distribution components designed for that band. Pressures below 1 PSIG are considered too close to ambient for this category, while pressures above 5 PSIG move into higher, different categories with different equipment and safety requirements.
