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
Designates a method of identifying the size of steel pipe without compromising the actual diameter data. Thus nominal 1 inch pipe with the actual external diameter of 1.315 inch (33.40 mm) becomes NPS 1; nominal 14 inch pipe with internal diameter of 13.250 inch (336.55 mm) becomes NPS 14.
