The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
Device utilizing an orifice for testing meters at a pressure of 20 psig or more by passing gas or air through both the meter and orifice and finally discharging it at a lower pressure which maintains critical-flow (sonic velocity) through the orifice. The time for a given quantity of gas to pass through the meter compared to the orifice standard time corrected for test conditions provides a measure of meter accuracy.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas occupying all pressurized sections of the pipeline network. Introduction of new gas at a receipt point "packs" or adds pressure to the line. Removal of gas at a delivery point lowers the pressure (unpacks the line).
Industry:Energy
Natural gas not contaminated by corrosion inducing impurities such as hydrogen sulfide, or with a low level of impurities.
Industry:Energy
The amount received for property retired, less any expenses incurred in connection with the sale or in preparing the property for sale; or, if retained, the amount at which the material recoverable is chargeable to Materials and Supplies, or other appropriate account.
Industry:Energy
Those liquid hydrocarbon mixtures which are gaseous at reservoir temperatures and pressures but are recoverable by condensation or absorption. Natural gasoline and liquefied petroleum gases fall in this category.
Industry:Energy
The annual efficiency ratings of furnaces and boilers based on average usage, including on and off cycling as determined by standardized Department of Energy test procedures.
Industry:Energy
The planning, development, improvement, coordination and evaluation of the safety component of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment and environments to achieve optimum safety effectiveness in terms of protection of people and property.
