What does PIPAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The carrying of water, oil or gas through pipes, or the system of pipes or the charge made for such carrying.
Pipage covers three connected ideas: the act of sending a liquid or gas along a pipeline, the network of pipes that does it, and the fee a company charges for the service. Oil firms still quote a pipage rate when they ship crude to a refinery. The ending -age works as in postage and haulage, naming both a process and its cost.
