The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A gas piping system that utilizes 2-psig pressure downstream of the point of delivery. This type of gas piping system allows greater versatility in the design of branch systems and in a multi-family building that could reduce the cost of installing the piping system when compared to the traditional 1/4 psig system.
Industry:Energy
A pressure regulator set in series with a control pressure regulator for the purpose of automatically taking over the control of the pressure downstream in case that pressure tends to exceed a set maximum.
Industry:Energy

Industry:Energy
DSM expenditures associated with the collection and analysis of data used to assess program operation and effects.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas used in lease or plant operations as a fuel or for other lease or plant uses such as for gas lift operations.
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
To install steel pipe or casing in a well bore. An accompanying operation is the cementing of the casing in place by surrounding it with a wall of cement extending for all or part of the depth of the well.
