The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The dismantlement and disposal of all buildings, structures, equipment, tanks and stacks at the site and restoration of the site to a usable condition.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the theoretical work requirement (using a stated process) to the actual work required to compress a given quantity of gas. It accounts for the gas friction losses, internal leakage and other variations from the idealized thermodynamic process.
Industry:Energy
A code that provides general criteria for the installation and operation of gas piping and gas equipment on consumers' premises. The code is sponsored by both the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-54) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z223.1).
Industry:Energy
A liquid containing lower boiling aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons which may be found in natural gas production, transmission, and distribution pipelines. Condensation to a liquid phase is induced by the higher pressure and lower temperature conditions in the pipeline.
Industry:Energy
A self-contained, vented, or unvented heater used to convert the combustion energy to radiant energy, a substantial portion of which is in the infra-red spectrum, for the purpose of direct heat transfer.
Industry:Energy
An energy efficient mortgage, often funded by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, VA or FHA, that recognizes the energy efficiency of a home and allows the lender to stretch the
Industry:Energy
Gas purchased by gas distributors from gas pipelines. The term is usually used by natural gas distributors to distinguish gas they purchased from pipelines from gas they purchased directly from producers and had transported.
Industry:Energy
Pressure in excess of a perfect vacuum. Absolute pressure is obtained by algebraically adding gauge pressure to atmosphere pressure. Pressures reported in "Atmospheres" are understood to be absolute. Absolute pressure must be used in equations of state and in all gas-law calculations. Gauge pressures below atmospheric pressure are called "vacuum."
