A natural gas pressure reducing station is designed to lower the pressure of gas being transported through pipelines so it can be safely used in homes and businesses. In the upstream part of the gas supply chain, natural gas is moved through high-pressure pipelines, often under pressures exceeding 1,000 psi. However, for consumers, the gas must be provided at much lower pressures, typically between 4 to 60 psi, depending on local regulations and equipment specifications.
