The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
Instrument for measuring the relative pressure of a fluid. Types include gauge, absolute, and differential.
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.
Industry:Energy
The zero point on the absolute temperature scale. It is equal to -273.16 degrees C, or 0 degrees K (Kelvin), or -459.69 degrees F, or 0 degrees R (Rankine).
Industry:Energy
A white, tasteless, odorless, waxy substance composed of natural hydrocarbons and obtained from petroleum.
Industry:Energy
The amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of a unit quantity of fuel. The gross of higher heating value is that which is obtained when all of the products of combustion are cooled to the temperature existing before combustion, the water vapor formed during combustion is condensed, and all the necessary corrections have been made. The net or lower heating value is obtained by subtracting the latent heat of vaporization of the water vapor, formed by the combustion of the hydrogen in the fuel, from the gross or higher heating value.
Industry:Energy
A year-round air-conditioning system employing refrigeration equipment in a manner which enables usable heat to be supplied to a space during the winter period, and by reversing the operation cycle to extract heat from the same space during the summer period. When operating as a heating system, heat is absorbed from an outside medium (either air, water, or the earth) and this heat, together with the heat equivalent of the work of compression, is supplied to space to be heated. When operating on the cooling cycle, heat is absorbed from the space to be cooled and this heat, together with the heat equivalent of the work of compression, is rejected to the outside medium.
Industry:Energy
Defines the type of customer. The common classes of service applied to ultimate consumers, and considerably more completely described in the A.G.A. publication "Definitions of a Gas Customer and Classes of Service for Industry Reporting Purposes", are: 1.Residential Service: Covers service to customers for domestic purposes (single, multifamily, or mobile homes, etc.). In residential service, the number of housing units within a structure determines the customer classification. 2.Commercial Service: Covers service to customers engaged in wholesale or retail trade, agriculture, communications, finance, fisheries, forestry, government, insurance, real estate, transportation, etc., and to customers not directly involved in other classes of service. 3.Industrial Service: Covers service to customers engaged primarily in a process which either involves the extraction of raw materials from the earth or a change of raw unfinished materials into another form or product.
Industry:Energy
Degradation of atmospheric quality due to heat, particulate, or other products from industrial plants, power plants, refineries, or vehicular engines.
Industry:Energy
a. Producer/Producer - When one or more producers sell or utilize a volume of natural gas in excess of their gross working interest. b. Pipeline/Pipeline - When a pipeline receives a volume of natural gas and redelivers a larger or smaller volume of natural gas under the terms of a transportation agreement. c. Producer/Pipeline - When a producer delivers a volume of natural gas that is larger or smaller than the volume of natural gas that the pipeline redelivers for the producer's account to another party.
