Industry:Energy
A gas-tight container fabricated from pipe or plate with integral drawn, forged, or spun end closures, tested in the manufacturer's plant, used for storing or transporting gas.
Industry:Energy
A process involving controlled heating and subsequent controlled, generally slow, cooling applied usually to induce ductility in metals. The term also is used to cover treatments intended to remove internal stresses, alter mechanical or physical properties, produce a definite microstructure, and remove gases.

Generally must be offset by reduced volumes being taken within some specified period subsequent to the allowed excess volumes taken. See OVERRUN, UNAUTHORIZED.
Industry:Energy
The process by which unwanted impurities, such as hydrogen sulfide, are removed from a gas mixture. Purification of gas is accomplished by two principal methods. The dry method in which the gas is passed through some purifying material such as iron oxide mixed with wood shavings, and the wet method in which the gas is brought in contact with some liquid containing an active purifying agent such as ethanolamine or arsenic trioxide.
Industry:Energy
Total sales from any field. Also, those sales made by a pipeline which occur in the gas supply areas and which typically do not require any part of the pipeline's transmission facilities.
