The purpose of this paper is to calculate the pressure distribution on the complex gas pipeline network. In this paper we apply The Linear Theory Method to make Panhandle A equation linear. The continuity equation can be obtained from the Kirchhofft's first law to the every node in a network. By using hypothetical data, has been successfully simulated and the results of calculating were compared to the commercial software. From the results for the low rate case show that Panhandle B gives the lowest pressure distribution then followed by Panhandle A and Weymouth respectively. Whereas, for the high rate case Panhandle B gives the highest pressure distribution then followed by Panhandle A and Weymouth respectively.
