A condition wherein components of a piping system and/or different specific materials can be joined together to form satisfactory joints.
Industry:Energy
A solid ice-like material resulting from the combination of a gas with water under pressure. Of natural gas constituents -- methane, ethane, propane, isobutane, normal butane, and also hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide will form hydrates. The greater the pressure in the equipment, the higher the temperature at which the hydrate will form, usually well above freezing. Hydrates can cause restriction or stoppage of flow, and can be controlled by alcohol injection or by dehydration of the gas. Methane hydrates are found in some permafrost regions and beneath portions of the ocean floor and may eventually be a source of methane gas.
Industry:Energy
The first gas to flow under an agreement at a new facility or for a new contract.
Industry:Energy
A material which, due to an affinity for certain substances, extracts one or more such substances from a liquid or gaseous medium with which it contacts, and which changes physically, or both, during the process.
Industry:Energy
A solid, semisolid, or pseudosolid organic material, often of high molecular weight, which exhibits a tendency to flow when subjected to stress, usually has a softening or melting range, and usually fractures conchoidally.
Industry:Energy
A spark ignition device designed to electrically initiate the combustion process.
Industry:Energy
An instrument used to analyze the make-up of various substances, and often used to determine the Btu content of natural gas.
