The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The ANSI Z132 has established 60oF and 14.73 psia as the base temperature and pressure to which all volumes are commonly referred.
Industry:Energy
The plug-type valve located in the service line between the main and the building; however, it is often used synonymously with the meter stop which is located within the building or immediately before the meter or regulator in outside settings. Compare VALVE, SHUTOFF.
Industry:Energy
Time rate of heat flow through a unit area and unit thickness of a homogeneous material under steady conditions when a unit temperature gradient is maintained in the direction perpendicular to area, expressed in Btu per hour per square foot of surface, per foot or inch of thickness, per degree Fahrenheit temperature difference across the thickness. Materials are considered homogeneous when the value of the thermal conductivity is not affected by variation in thickness or the size of the sample within the range normally used in construction.
Industry:Energy
A gas containing certain specific hydrocarbons which are gaseous under normal atmospheric conditions but can be liquefied under moderate pressure at normal temperatures. Propane and butane are the principal examples.
Industry:Energy
A post combustion control which taps flue gas off the boiler and injects ammonia with nitrogen oxide gas to reduce emissions.
Industry:Energy
Adding heat to remove accumulated solid water or carbon dioxide constituents from low-temperature process equipment.
Industry:Energy
Difference in pressure between any two points in a continuous system. Compare PRESSURE DROP.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas reserves dedicated to the fulfillment of gas purchase contracts.
