The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The maximum operating pressure at which a system or a device may be operated as determined by regulating codes.
Industry:Energy
The total volume of gas in a storage reservoir which is in excess of the base gas. also called working gas.
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.
Industry:Energy

Industry:Energy
Accounts used for the accumulation of expenses which cannot be equitably distributed at the time of the charge. These accounts are cleared by distribution to other accounts on the basis of past experience, benefits received, or on some other reasonable basis.
Industry:Energy
Device utilizing an orifice for testing meters at a pressure of 20 psig or more by passing gas or air through both the meter and orifice and finally discharging it at a lower pressure which maintains critical-flow (sonic velocity) through the orifice. The time for a given quantity of gas to pass through the meter compared to the orifice standard time corrected for test conditions provides a measure of meter accuracy.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas occupying all pressurized sections of the pipeline network. Introduction of new gas at a receipt point "packs" or adds pressure to the line. Removal of gas at a delivery point lowers the pressure (unpacks the line).
Industry:Energy
The annual efficiency ratings of furnaces and boilers based on average usage, including on and off cycling as determined by standardized Department of Energy test procedures.
Industry:Energy
The planning, development, improvement, coordination and evaluation of the safety component of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment and environments to achieve optimum safety effectiveness in terms of protection of people and property.
