The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
For purposes of the CURRENT ADJUSTMENT, a method for computing a pipeline's average projected purchased gas costs derived by dividing the pipeline's total projected purchased gas costs the pipeline anticipates purchasing during the PGA effective period by the quantities of gas used to compute its total projected purchased gas costs, as detailed in Section 154.305 of the Regulations.
Industry:Energy
Pipe that has been covered with a corrosion resistant coating or compound (such as asphalt or tar) to prevent corrosion from soil conditions.
Industry:Energy
The radiation in that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and radio waves, originating from either incandescent or non-incandescent hot bodies or from flames. The energy is utilized as a means of direct heat transfer from the source to the object or objects to be heated without materially heating the intervening air.
Industry:Energy
An apparatus which converts the energy in a fluid to mechanical energy by means of the expansion of the fluid (gas) against a piston. It normally includes a cylinder closed by a piston connected by means of a connecting rod to a crankshaft; a valve mechanism admits and discharges fluid at appropriate times in the cycle. Compare TURBINE, STEAM OR GAS.
Industry:Energy
A charge against income for the extraction of natural resources, commonly called "wasting assets" (i.e., gas, oil, coal, etc.).
Industry:Energy
Pipelines (mains) installed for the purpose of transmitting gas from a source or sources of supply to one or more distribution centers, to one or more large volume customers, or a pipeline installed to interconnect sources of supply. in typical cases, transmission lines differ from gas mains in that they operate at higher pressures, are longer, and the distance between connections is greater.
Industry:Energy
The customer who purchases gas for consumption and not for resale purposes. See CONSUMER, GAS.
Industry:Energy
An arbitrary index which combines into a single value the effect of temperature, humidity, and air movement on the sensation of warmth or cold felt by the human body. The numerical value is that of the temperature of still, saturated air which would induce an identical sensation. See CHILL FACTOR.
