The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A gas containing certain specific hydrocarbons which are gaseous under normal atmospheric conditions, but can be liquefied under moderate pressure at normal temperatures. Propane and butane are the principal examples.
Industry:Energy
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
The area of radiator surface required based on the heat loss computation for the space to be heated.
Industry:Energy
The pressure of natural gas as it is found in the underground formations from which it is produced.
Industry:Energy
A gas which forms about 21%, by volume, of the atmosphere. It is chemically very active and is necessary for combustion. The combination of oxygen with other substances generally produces heat.
Industry:Energy
A prime mover in which gas, under pressure or formed by combustion, is directed against a series of turbine blades; the energy in the expanding gas is converted into mechanical energy supplying power at the shaft.
Industry:Energy
The pressure of the steam of water in a boiler, depending on type, generally expressed in pounds per square inch gauge and corresponding temperature.
Industry:Energy
The pressure used as a standard in determining gas volume. Volumes are measured at operating pressures and then corrected to base pressure volume. Base pressure is normally defined in any gas measurement contract. The standard value for natural gas in the United States is 14.73 psia, established by the American National Standards Institute as standard Z-132.1 in 1969.
Industry:Energy
The change in length per unit length or the change in volume per unit volume, per degree change in temperature.
