Modern long-distance pipelines mainly

automatically by a computer at the headquarters of the

pipeline company. The computer the pressure,

flow rates, and other parameters at various locations along the

pipe, many on-line computations, and

commands to the field to control the

operation of the valves and pumps. Manual intervention is

frequently to modify the automatic operation,

as when different batches of fuels to

different temporary storage tanks, or when the system must be down or restarted.

6. Answer the questions.

1. How are the modern long-distance pipelines operated?

2. What device monitors the pressure, flow rates, and other parameters at various locations along the pipe?

3. Is there a necessity for manual intervention to modify the automatic operation?

4. What kinds of work does the construction project cover?

5. What is the difference between the field devices and field instrumentation?

6. Where are the field instruments installed?

7. What are the Remote Terminal Units?
