Destruction of a metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment.
Industry:Energy
Those liquid hydrocarbon mixtures which are gaseous at reservoir temperatures and pressures but are recoverable by condensation or absorption. Natural gasoline and liquefied petroleum gases fall in this category.
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

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.
