Unton G’AS CompAny O0 (Ontario) CHRONICLE orFr CaNnADA. LimItED of installation to assure utmost safety (inspections will be carriéd out to enforce these regulations). And appliance and heating equipment manufacturers equip their products with the latest safety devices and controls. ~Nctural gas appliance service is provided by Union Gas > ~»any on the following basis. Routine service is ofâ€" ‘rcd during the normal working day and emergency service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is provided free by the company, but there may be a charge for replacement parts. Natural gas is as safe asâ€"if not safer thanâ€"any other fuel commonly in use today. The Canadian Gas Association, an industryâ€"wide organization, has established an appliance testing program designed to virtually guarantee the safety of approved appliances. The Ontario Fuel Boardâ€"the provincial body which regulates the gas industry in Ontarioâ€"has established standards and air conditioning. Natural gas can be used by business and industry for these purposes, as well as for a host of other more specialized applications. It has been conservatively estimated that there are more than 25,000 different uses for natural gas. When natural gas is properly burned, the only products of eombustion are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapourâ€"all three of which are normally found in any pure atmosphere. Also, natural gas leaves no ashes, soot or secum. _ Natural gas can be used in your home for cooking, water heating, refrigeration, clothes drying, garbage in_cineratiqn, space heating Natural gas is a source of energyâ€"a fuel having countless uses in the home, business and industryâ€"which was formed millions of years ago. Chemically, it is mostly methane and thus is a member of the hydrocarbon family. Petroleum, too, is a member of this family. Natural gas is currently being found in many widelyâ€" scattered places throughout the world, but the gas which ig made available here comes initially from gas fields in the Southern United States and in the Southâ€" western Ontario peninsula. Later, the U.S. gas will be replaced by gas brought from Western Canada by the Transâ€"Canada pipeline. € Natural gas occurs in porous (spongeâ€"like) rock, many hundreds of feet below the earth‘s surface. The search for natural gas involves making detailed geological and geophysical studies, and drilling exploratory wells. When a producing well is discovered, further drilling is carried out to determine the extent of the gas formation. Natural gas is transmitted from the gas fields to this general area by means of large diameter pipelines. Somewhat smaller branch lines feed the gas into your community, and a network of even smaller lines disâ€" tributes the gas directly to your home. . The heat valus of 2 gas is measured in British Thermal Unitsâ€" _ one BTU being the amount of heat required to raise the temperaâ€" ture of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. The heat content of natural gas varies, but is usually in excess of 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot. For practical purposes, natural gas is conâ€" sidered to contain 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot. In comparison, manufactured gas ranges from 475 to 550 BTUs per cubic foot, while the heat content of propane (bottled) gas is about 2,520 BTUs per cubic foot. PACE SEVEN
