The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A precise listing of the quantities of gas to be transported during any specified time period. A nomination includes all custody transfer entities, locations, compressor fueled and other volumetric assessments, and the precise routing of gas through the pipeline network.
Industry:Energy
Displacement transactions permit the lateral movement of gas through a transportation network. The configuration of many pipelines is such that it may not be apparent whether a given movement of gas is forward or backward from the point of receipt. It can be argued that all transportation service is performed by displacement as the physical delivery of the same molecules of gas is impossible. See BACKHAUL.
Industry:Energy
The area of radiator surface required based on the heat loss computation for the space to be heated.
Industry:Energy
To ascertain, usually by comparison with a standard, the locations at which scale or chart graduations should be placed to correspond to a series of values of the quantity which the instrument is to measure, receive or transmit. Also, to adjust the output of a device, to bring it to a desired value, within a specified tolerance for a particular value of the input. Also, to ascertain the error in the output of a device by checking it against a standard.
Industry:Energy
A predefined monthly period in which daily services are summarized for invoicing and imbalance statements. Typically billing months are not calendar months, except for large volume and special use customers. See CYCLE BILLING.
Industry:Energy
A gas obtained by destructive distillation of coal, by the thermal decomposition of oil, or by the reaction of steam passing through a bed of heated coal or coke. Examples are coal gases, coke or oven gases, producer gas, blast furnace gas, blue (water) gas, or carbureted water gas. The Btu content varies widely.
Industry:Energy
A pressure less than atmospheric pressure, measured either from the base of zero pressure or from the base of atmospheric pressure.
Industry:Energy
Those liquid hydrocarbon mixtures which are gaseous at reservoir temperatures and pressures but are recoverable by condensation or absorption. Natural gasoline and liquefied petroleum gases fall in this category.
Industry:Energy
A functional classification relating to that portion of utility plant used for the purpose of producing gas; or to expenses relating to the operation or maintenance of production plant.
