The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The commonly known forms of rates may be divided into two main classes, and each of these classes into several different types of rates.
Industry:Energy
The process by which supply is assigned to purchasers in accordance with a given priority during periods when total sales requests exceed the seller's total supply.
Industry:Energy
A facility for storing and vaporizing LNG to meet relatively modest demands at remote locations or to meet short-term peak demands. LNG is usually trucked to such facilities.
Industry:Energy
A pilot that burns throughout the entire time the burner assembly is in service, whether the main burner is firing or not. Upon a call for heat, the pilot is automatically expanded so as to reliably ignite the main burner. This pilot may be turned down automatically at the end of main burner flame-establishing period.
Industry:Energy
A velocity measuring device in which the flow is parallel to the rotor axis and the speed of rotation is proportional to the rate of flow. The volume of gas measured is determined by the revolutions of the rotor and converting them to a continuously totalized volumetric reading.
Industry:Energy
Contract provisions which allow price redetermination at specified times or conditions at prices prevailing in the area, or at market prices.
Industry:Energy
Materials to be used on pipe joints, primarily to lubricate the threads and secondarily to prevent leakage.
Industry:Energy
The adiabatic exchange of heat between air and a water spray or wetted surface. The water approaches the wet bulb temperature of the air, which remains constant during its traverse of the exchanger.
Industry:Energy
The number of Btus contained in a cubic foot of natural gas fully saturated with water under actual delivery pressure, temperature and gravity conditions. See BTU, DRY.
