Year Published: 1987
Abstract: The A.G.A. Managing Committee has authorized guidelines for the use of bar codes in the natural gas industry. The symbology is Code 39 with a density of 3.0 to 5.7 characters per inch. The bar code label is divided into a minimum of four sections, which will contain a human readable description, the manufacturers code number, quantity and units, and the manufacturers catalog number. A.G.A. has joined Industry Bar Code Alliance (IBCA), who wilt assist in instituting and maintaining the bar coding system by publishing the guidelines in conjunction with guidelines for other industries. In conjunction with A.G.A. and regional gas associations, IBCA will be conducting seminars in the fall of 1987 and spring of 1988 to familiarize gas utilities and their suppliers with the guidelines. The Managing Committee of the Operating Section of the American Gas Association (A.G.A.) authorized guidelines for the use of bar codes between gas equipment manufacturers and LDCs in interfacing with their warehouses. Figure 1 shows the standard guidelines approved by the Managing Committee.
