A set of related records or data treated as a unit.
Aerosols liquids who have contacted each other and become adhered to the
inside of the pipeline.
A computer program or software stored permanently in PROM or ROM or semi-
permanently in EPROM.
This refers to the version of firmware contained in the equipment.
A format for processing or storing numbers as digital integers.
Any of various types of indicators used for identification of a condition or event;
for example, a character that signals the termination of a transmission.
Enclosure which can withstand the pressure developed during an internal
explosion of an explosive mixture, and which prevents the transmission of the
explosion to the explosive atmosphere surrounding the enclosure.
A liquid as defined by NFPD and DOT as having a flash point below 37.8°C
(100°F).
For pipe, a metal collar drilled with bolt holes and attached to the pipe with its
flat surface at right angles to the pipe axis so that it can be securely bolted to a
mating flange on a valve, another pipe section, etc.
Re-programmable memory onboard an XFC/XRC, similar to an EPROM,
except that it can be programmed while in circuit using a Boot Loader Program
to write to it. Generally used for the operating system and application code
space (non-volatile).
An Analog to Digital Converter whose output code is determined in a single
step by a bank of comparators and encoding logic.
The temperature at which a liquid will yield enough flammable vapor to ignite.
There are various recognized industrial testing methods; therefore the method
used must be stated.
Gas vapors released from a stream of natural gas liquids as a result of an
increase in temperature or a decrease in pressure.
Travel of liquids or gases in response to a force (i.e. pressure or gravity).
A device placed on location to measure SP, DP and temperature (to calculate
flow) of gases or liquids being transferred, for remote unattended operation.
In the gas industry, formulas used to determine gas flow rates or pressure
drops in pipelines, regulators, valves, meters, etc.
Actual speed or velocity of fluid movement .
A device used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving fluid.
Substances that flow freely; gases and liquids.

safety standards.
An instrument that meets a specific set of specifications established by Factory
Mutual Research Corporation.
The style of lettering used to display information.
The surface space required for an object.
Pressure Base factor.
Flow velocity in feet per minute.
Flow velocity in feet per second.
See Supercompressibility Factor.
