n: The glass tube that can absorb different kinds of gas in the gas surveying analysis instrument.

n: The instant acceleration of the liquid flowing in the pump and pipe.

the action of particles forming adhering clumps on pipe.

n: a method of joining steel components in which acetylene gas and oxygen are mixed in a torch to attain the high temperatures necessary for welding. As an early type of welding (it was also called oxyacetylene welding),its primary disadvantage was the seepage of molten weld material onto the interior surface of the pipe, often leading to corrosion problems.

v: to treat oil-bearing limestone or other formations with acid for the purpose of increasing production. Hydrochloric or other acid is injected into the formation under pressure. The acid etches the rock, enlarging the pore spaces and passages through which the reservoir fluids flow. Acid also removes formation damage by dissolving material plugging the rock surrounding the wellbore. The acid is held under pressure for a period of time and then pumped out, after which the well is swabbed and put back into production. Chemical inhibitors combined with the acid prevent corrosion of the pipe. acid recovery plant n: plant for therecovery of sulfuric acid from acid sludge.

a piece of equipment that connects pipe, flanges or other equipment with different root threads or connection mechanisms.

n: (RSPA) a DOT agency that oversees the Office of Pipeline Safety, intermodal containers, highway portable tanks, railroad cars, and anything used in interstate or international commerce not regulated by the coast guard. Under OPA, RSPA has authority over onshore oil and hazardous materials pipelines that are used in interstate commerce. Address: 400 7th Street SW;Washington, DC 20590;(202) 366-4433.

n: see air-cooled exchanger. aerial river crossing n: a river crossing technique in which a pipeline is either suspended by cables over a waterway or attached to the girders of a bridge designed to carry vehicular traffic.

n: a hoist operated by compressed air;a pneumatic hoist. Air hoists are often mounted on the rig floor and are used to lift joints of pipe and other heavy objects.
