Industry:Energy
The average specified diameter of a pipe divided by the minimum specified wall thickness. NOTE: Each pipe can have two dimension ratios depending on whether the outside or inside diameter is used. In practice, the outside diameter is used if the standard requirement and manufacturing control are based on this diameter. The inside diameter is used when this measure is the controlling one.
Industry:Energy
The practice of applying acids to the walls of oil and gas wells to remove any material which obstructs the entrance of fluids. Also used in carbonate formations, such as limestone, to increase porosity.
Industry:Energy

Industry:Energy
Natural gas which has been liquefied by reducing its temperature to minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure. It remains a liquid at -116 degrees Fahrenheit and 673 psig. In volume, it occupies 1/600 of that of the vapor at standard conditions.
