Company Profile:
The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
Stored energy. Energy possessing the power of doing work but not actually performing such work.
Industry:Energy
The integrating pressure-instrument registers the total volume of gas metered in cubic feet at a specified base pressure. This instrument is equipped with a second register which records the total volume at the flowing pressure. Each unit of volume flowing through the metre causes the integrating mechanism to make one cycle and apply the correct pressure multiplier for that unit. The summation of these products is registered on a counter index indicating the displaced volume at base pressure.
Industry:Energy
The tendency of air or gas in a duct, vertical passage, or building to rise when heated due to its lower density compared to the surrounding air or gas.
Industry:Energy

Industry:Energy
Concept used in developing a company's proper capital structure. It occurs when the company participates in a project financed joint venture through a wholly owned subsidiary. See CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
Industry:Energy
Making a pipe joint by heating the mating surfaces of the parts to be joined so that they fuse and become essentially one piece with or without addition of material. NOTE: Also known as Heat fusion and Fusion.
Industry:Energy
The action on a material which decreases its volume as the pressure to which it is subjected increases.
Industry:Energy
The most common unit of measurement of gas volume. It is the amount of gas required to fill a volume of one cubic foot under stated conditions of temperature, pressure, and water vapor.
