A gas obtained by destructive distillation of coal, or by the thermal decomposition of oil, or by the reaction of steam passing through a bed of heated coal or coke, or catalyst beds. Examples are coal gases, coke oven gases, producer gas, blast furnace gas, blue (water) gas, and carbureted water gas. 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
The pressure difference between two points in a system. For example, the difference in pressure between the upstream and downstream taps of an orifice plate, used to measure volume passing through the orifice.
Industry:Energy
Negotiations wherein each interstate pipeline and its customers determine how they will conduct business pursuant to the provisions of Order 636.
Industry:Energy
The pressure due to the weight of the atmosphere (air and water vapor) on the earth's surface. The average atmospheric pressure at sea level (for scientific purposes) has been defined at 14.696 pounds per square inch absolute.
