The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A bellows inside a displacement type gas meter. Also, a membrane separating two different pressure areas within a control valve or regulator.
Industry:Energy
A program promulgated by the FPC during the interstate natural gas shortage of the 1970s whereby industrial users could purchase natural gas directly from producers and utilize the natural gas pipelines as contract carriers to transport the gas. As end-users, self-help industrial users were not restricted by federal wellhead price ceilings (since the gas was not sold for resale) and thus could compete with intrastate pipelines for natural gas.
Industry:Energy
An above the water reinforced structure with pipe pile legs extending down into the ocean floor to support the above water structures and equipment installed for the measurement of gas, and for the operation of the offshore pipelines.
Industry:Energy
Equipment installed for the purpose of preventing the pressure on a pipeline or distribution system to which it is connected from exceeding the maximum allowable operating pressure by venting gas to the atmosphere whenever the pressure exceeds this valve.

One of the liberalized methods of computing depreciation, normally used for tax purposes. Under this method, the annual deduction is derived by multiplying the cost of the property less estimated net salvage, by the estimated number of years of service life remaining, and dividing the resultant product by the sum of all the digits would be 25+24+23+22+ etc. +5+4+3+2+1 or 325. A simple way to compute this figure would be to multiply the number of years by the number of years plus one and divide by 2, i.e., (25 X 26) : 2 = 325. The first year's full depreciation deduction would be 25/325ths; the second year's would be 24/325ths, etc., of the cost of the property.
Industry:Energy
The concentration of gas load for a given area expressed as gas volume per unit of time and per unit of area.
Industry:Energy
The process of cooling a compressed air or gas immediately after compression.
Industry:Energy
A bill for service not based on meter readings for the period being billed but based on calculations of how much gas a customer used during a particular period of time utilizing the gas consumption history of that customer and temperatures during the period.
