The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The tendency of a heated gas to rise in a vertical passage as in a chimney, small enclosure, or stairwell.
Industry:Energy
A device for converting alternating current to direct current, used in the gas industry for external corrosion control of pipe and other metals.
Industry:Energy
A method of effecting the pyrolysis of a fuel by contacting it with hot hydrogen.
Industry:Energy
A system using the momentum of a jet of high pressure gas (in excess of 1/2 psig or 14 inches of water column) to entrain from the atmosphere all, or nearly all, of the air required for combustion.
Industry:Energy
Any point in the direction of flow of a liquid or gas from the reference point. Compare UPSTREAM.
Industry:Energy
In DSM, an organization (architect, building contractor, etc.) that influences energy decisions of customers who are potential DSM program participants.
Industry:Energy
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 meter 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.
