GMRC Technology Reports

The GMRC research program at Southwest Research Institute produces technical reports each year for distribution to the gas pipeline industry. These reports are a primary means of technology transfer, and are made available at no charge in electronic format (Adobe Acrobat PDF). Please check this site frequently as selected reports from previous years are converted to electronic format and posted.
