The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The pressure which would be exerted by a fluid due to its motion if brought to rest. This is distinguished from the static pressure exerted against walls containing the fluid.
Industry:Energy
A gas-air mixture of which the air content is not sufficient for complete combustion.
Industry:Energy
A process by which capacity available in a pipeline is distributed to parties in the event requests for volume (i.e., nominations) are in excess of the available space. Typically the allocation is based on service type, contract type and a company's tariff provisions. Also called NOMINATION ALLOCATION.

Employees, other than the Commissioners and their staffs and the ALJs and their staff, of the FERC.
Industry:Energy
To sense the presence of a flame. The device which does this is called a flame monitor. Also, to analyze and record various desired and undesired components of an atmosphere, or stream of flowing gas or fluid.
Industry:Energy
(1) A technique to reduce corrosion of a metal surface under some conditions by passing sufficient anodic current to it to cause the electrode potential of the surface to enter and remain in the passive region. (2) An appreciable reduction in corrosion by making a metal an anode and maintaining this highly polarized condition with very little current flow.
Industry:Energy
(1) Polarization of anode, that is, the decrease in the initial anode potential resulting from current flow effects at or near the anode surface. The potential becomes more noble (more positive) because of anodic polarization. (2) That portion of the cell polarization occurring at the anode.
Industry:Energy
A process control test for PVC pipe which indicates how well the rigid vinyl compound has been fused together in the extruder. Improperly fused pipe will tend to flake when placed in anhydrous acetone.
Industry:Energy
Amounts paid by interstate gas pipelines to natural gas producers, including affiliated companies, for exploration, development, or production of natural gas, which amounts were to be repaid in cash or by future delivery of gas. During a brief period during the 1970s the Commission allowed such advances to be included in the pipeline's rate base (with adjustments when repaid) and hence to be recovered by the pipeline through its cost of service. The purpose of the advance payments was to induce producers to sell natural gas at regulated prices to the interstate pipelines, rather than at higher, unregulated prices to intrastate pipelines.
Industry:Energy
A general term for a measure; also applied to the mechanism, composed of gears, dials, and dial face, that indicates the quantity of gas passing through a meter.
