Actions or practices taken to reduce energy consumption.
Industry:Energy
Devoid of crystallinity. Most plastics are in the amorphous state at processing temperatures; many retain this state under normal conditions.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas provided by a utility to a governmental body, in a particular municipality, in exchange for franchise rights in that municipality.
Industry:Energy
The ANSI Z132 has established 60oF and 14.73 psia as the base temperature and pressure to which all volumes are commonly referred.
Industry:Energy
The plug-type valve located in the service line between the main and the building; however, it is often used synonymously with the meter stop which is located within the building or immediately before the meter or regulator in outside settings. Compare VALVE, SHUTOFF.
Industry:Energy
Time rate of heat flow through a unit area and unit thickness of a homogeneous material under steady conditions when a unit temperature gradient is maintained in the direction perpendicular to area, expressed in Btu per hour per square foot of surface, per foot or inch of thickness, per degree Fahrenheit temperature difference across the thickness. Materials are considered homogeneous when the value of the thermal conductivity is not affected by variation in thickness or the size of the sample within the range normally used in construction.
Industry:Energy
A difference of pressure which causes a flow of air and/or flue gases through the boiler, flue connector, breeching, flue, or chimney.
Industry:Energy
A number roughly proportional to population density in an area that extends 220 yards on either side of the center line of any continuous one-mile length of pipeline main and used in some cases to determine design and/or test requirements.
Industry:Energy
A type of motive equipment powered by steam used to drive mechanical apparatus. It has a rotary motion in contrast to a reciprocating motion.
