TUBING FOR A SENSING LINE TO A PRESSURE TRANSDUCER WAS INADEQUATELY SECURED DURING INITIAL INSTALLATION AND BROKE FREE FROM ITS CONNECTION POINT BECAUSE OF PROLONGED VIBRATION FROM NORMAL OPERATION. LOCAL OPERATOR RESPONDED AND ISOLATED THE SENSING LINE VALVES. THE OPERATOR REPAIRED THE TUBING AND REPORTED THE EVENT TO QUESTAR PIPELINE COMPANY'S GAS CONTROL. AFTER GAS LOSS CALCULATIONS WERE MADE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS EVENT MET THE CRITERIA OF AN UNINTENTIONAL RELEASE OF GAS IN EXCESS OF 3 MMSCF AND THE EVENT WAS REPORTED TO THE NRC.\n\nPHMSA trend classification: not significant, not serious.\n\nPHMSA standardized cause: EQUIPMENT FAILURE — OTHER EQUIPMENT FAILURE.\n\nPHMSA indexed costs: $20,300 reported total cost, $14,110.256 in 1984 dollars, $17,855.102 in current-year dollars.\n\nPHMSA trend flags, standardized causes, and indexed costs are analytical fields added to operator-reported incident data.
