Industry:Energy
The amount of gas that can be transported under specified conditions of pressure, temperature and loading (generally peak day requirements). Note that the maximum amount of gas that can be delivered during any period time may vary depending upon the amount of line pack, pressure differential, points of receipt and delivery, gas gravity and temperature conditions at the beginning of the period. Consequently, a system's capacity will vary from time to time depending upon existing conditions.
