A geographic area that is a metropolitan statistical area or a consolidated metropolitan statistical area as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
Industry:Energy
Coal for which estimates of the rank, quality, and quantity are based partly on sample analyses and measurements and partly on reasonable geologic projections. Indicated resources are computed partly from specified measurements and partly from projection of visible data for a reasonable distance on the basis of geologic evidence. The points of observation are 1/2 to 1-1/2miles apart. Indicated coal is projected to extend as a 1/2-mile-widebelt that lies more than 1/4 mile from the outcrop, points of observation, or measurement.
Industry:Energy
A county or group of contiguous counties (towns and cities in New England) that has (1) atleast one city with 50,000 or more in habitants; or (2) an urbanised area of 50,000 inhabitants and a total population of 100,000 or more inhabitants (75,000 in New England). These areas are defined by the U.S.Office of Management and Budget. The contiguous counties or other jurisdictions to be included in an MSA are those that, according to certain criteria, are essentially metropolitan in character and are socially and economically integrated with the central city or urbanised area.
Industry:Energy
Costs not directly related to mining or milling operations, such as overhead, insurance, security, office expenses, property taxes, and similar administrative expenses.
Industry:Energy
Wax extracted from certain petroleum residues having a finer and less apparent crystalline structure than paraffin wax and having the following physical characteristics penetration at 77 degrees Fahrenheit (D1321)-60 maximum; viscosity at 210 degrees Fahrenheit in Saybolt Universal Seconds (SUS); (D88)-60 SUS (10.22 centistokes) minimum to 150 SUS (31.8 centistokes) maximum; oil content (D721)-5 percent minimum.
Industry:Energy
The end-use category that handles boiler fuel. Fuel in boilers is transformed into another useful energy source, steam or hot water, which is in turn used in other end uses, such as process or space heating or electricity generation. Manufacturers find measuring quantities of steam as it passes through to various end uses especially difficult because variations in both temperature and pressure affect energy content. Thus,the MECS (an EIA survey) does not present end-use estimates of steam or hot water and shows only the amount of the fuel used in the boiler to produce those secondary energy sources.
Industry:Energy
A small groove scribed into the surface of a solar photovoltaic cell which is filled with metal for contacts.
Industry:Energy
A utility cost that may not be meaning fully identified with any particular DSM programme category. Indirect costs could be attributable to one of several accounting cost categories (i.e., Administrative, Marketing, Monitoringevaluation, Utility-Earned Incentives, Other). Accounting costs that are known DSM programme costs should not be reported under Indirect Utility Cost; those costs should be reported as Direct Utility Costsunder the appropriate DSM programme category.
Industry:Energy
One-millionth of a meter. It can also be expressed as 10-6 meter.
Industry:Energy
An electric railway with a "light volume" traffic capacity compared to "heavy rail." Light rail may use exclusive or shared rights-of-way, high or low platform loading, and multi-car trains or single cars. Also known as "street car," "trolleycar," and "tramway."
