The pressure which would be exerted by a fluid due to its motion if brought to rest. This is distinguished from the static pressure exerted against walls containing the fluid.
Industry:Energy
(1) The effect of specific chemicals on the properties of plastic piping with respect to concentration, temperature and time of exposure. (2) The ability of a specific plastic pipe to render service for a useful period in the transport of a specific chemical at a specified concentration and temperature. (3) The ability to resist chemical attack.
Industry:Energy
A process whereby hydrogen atoms are added to an organic molecule to form a new compound; such reactions usually require heat and pressure in the presence of a catalyst.
Industry:Energy
Equipment installed for the purpose of automatically reducing and regulating the pressure in the downstream pipeline or main to which it is connected. Included are piping auxiliary devices such as valves, control instruments, control lines, the enclosures, and ventilating equipment. See PRESSURE LIMITING STATION and PRESSURE RELIEF STATION.
Industry:Energy
Equipment installed for the purpose of preventing the pressure on a pipeline or distribution system from exceeding some maximum pressure as determined by one or more regulating codes by controlling or restricting the flow of gas when abnormal conditions develop. See PRESSURE RELIEF STATION and PRESSURE REGULATING STATION.
Industry:Energy
The computer-to-computer exchange of data for business transactions.
Industry:Energy
A geographical area. A geological zone, however, means an interval of strata of the geologic column that has distinguishing characteristics from surrounding strata. Also, a space or group of spaces within a building with heating and/or cooling requirements sufficiently similar so that comfort conditions can be maintained by a single controlling device.
Industry:Energy
A property of ions or of radicals determining the number of ions with which they can combine in chemical reactions.
