Under insufficient loading of a main gas transmission system, high-amplitude fluctuations of pressure may occur in it. A mathematical model is proposed to estimate the amplitude of pressure fluctuations in a gas pipeline along its length. It has been revealed that the shutdown of compressor stations along the gas pipeline route has a significant impact on the parameters of the unsteady transient operating conditions. The possibility of minimizing oscillation processes by disconnecting compressor stations is substantiated for the “Soyuz„ main gas pipeline.
