The minimum amount of electric power or natural gas delivered or required over a given period of time at a steady rate. In so far as baseload electricity is concerned, coal power stations are usually base load stations in that they operate throughout the year to meet a certain constant level of demand. That part …
The pressure used as a standard in determining gas volume. Volumes are measured at operating pressures and then corrected to base pressure volume. Base pressure is normally defined in any gas measurement contract.

Limits for exposure at work are imposed in many countries due to concern over the incidence of leukemia. …
A power station devoted to the production of baseload supply of electricity. Baseload plants are the production facilities used to meet all or some of a given region’s / country’s continuous energy demand, and produces energy at a constant rate, usually at the lowest end of the price scale relative to other production facilities available …
The firm base rock to which is anchored the geological structure of interest to petroleum geologists. Usually synonymous with the Precambrian but the term may also be applied to any widespread association of igneous and metamorphic rocks which are covered by unmetamorphosed sediments. The ancient rock that lies below sedimentary strata; it does not contain …
