These meters measure volume at pipeline conditions using a device which will convert volume at flowing temperature to volume at base temperature. These temperature compensators use a temperature-sensitive device to continuously vary the diaphragm-stroke to provide a temperature-compensated volume output. Meters equipped with temperature-compensators are often identified by red badges on the index face.
Industry:Energy
A device which continuously and automatically compensates to correct gas volumes measured at operating temperature and pressure to volume at a specified base temperature and pressure.
Industry:Energy
A mutual agreement to release or ascribe a contractual obligation from the original contractor to another party.
Industry:Energy
A transaction that results in the transportation of gas in a direction opposite of the aggregate physical flow of gas in the pipeline. This is typically achieved when the transporting pipeline redelivers gas at a point(s) upstream from the point(s) of receipt. A backhaul condition will exist as long as the aggregate backhaul transactions total less than the aggregate forward haul transactions. A backhaul transaction can result in a delivery by non-delivery or cut back (reduction) of physical flow at a delivery point.
