The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The volume of a perfect gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure at constant temperature.
Industry:Energy
(Also called cushion gas). The total volume of gas which will maintain the required rate of deliver during an output cycle.
Industry:Energy
A gas-tight receptacle or container in which gas is stored for future use. (1) at approximately constant pressure (low pressure containers) in which case the volume of the container changes; and (2) in containers of constant volume (usually high pressure containers) in which case the quantity of gas molecules stored varies with the pressure.
Industry:Energy
A process of managing the difference between the quantities received and delivered at various points under a contract during a defined period of time (i.e., hourly, daily, monthly, etc.).
Industry:Energy
Amounts declared payable out of unappropriated retained earnings as dividends on outstanding preferred or common stock.

On a daily basis, gas allowed in advance to be taken, within specified parameters, above contract demand volume. On a monthly, seasonal or annual basis, gas allowed in advance to be taken above a customer nominated level. Generally must be offset by reduced volumes being taken within some specified period subsequent to the allowed excess volumes taken. See OVERRUN, UNAUTHORIZED.
Industry:Energy
The complete operation of installing piping systems in towns or cities including trenching, joining sections of pipe, placing pipe in trenches, back-filling trenches, and cleaning up.
Industry:Energy
The process by which unwanted impurities, such as hydrogen sulfide, are removed from a gas mixture. Purification of gas is accomplished by two principal methods. The dry method in which the gas is passed through some purifying material such as iron oxide mixed with wood shavings, and the wet method in which the gas is brought in contact with some liquid containing an active purifying agent such as ethanolamine or arsenic trioxide.
