"Fail-safe" means a design feature which will maintain or result in a safe condition in the event of malfunction or failure of a power supply, component, or control device.
"g" means the standard acceleration of gravity of 9.806 meters per second2 (32.17 feet per second2).
"Gas," except when designated as inert, means natural gas, other flammable gas, or gas which is toxic or corrosive.
"Hazardous fluid" means gas or hazardous liquid.
"Hazardous liquid" means LNG or a liquid that is flammable or toxic.
"Heated vaporizer" means a vaporizer which derives heat from other than naturally occurring heat sources.
"Impounding space" means a volume of space formed by dikes and floors which is designed to confine a spill of hazardous liquid.
"Impounding system" includes an impounding space, including dikes and floors for conducting the flow of spilled hazardous liquids to an impounding space.
"Liquefied natural gas" or "LNG" means natural gas or synthetic gas having methane (CH4) as its major constituent which has been changed to a liquid or semisolid.
"LNG facility" means a pipeline facility that is used for liquefying or solidifying natural gas or synthetic gas or transferring, storing, or vaporizing liquefied natural gas.
"LNG plant" means an LNG facility or system of LNG facilities functioning as a unit.
"m3" means a volumetric unit which is one cubic metre, 6.2898 barrels, 35.3147 ft.3, or 264.1720 U.S. gallons, each volume being considered as equal to the other.
"Maximum allowable working pressure" means the maximum gage pressure permissible at the top of the equipment, containers or pressure vessels while operating at design temperature.
"Normal operation" means functioning within ranges of pressure, temperature, flow, or other operating criteria required by this part.
"Operator" means a person who owns or operates an LNG facility.
"Person" means any individual, firm, joint venture, partnership, corporation, association, state, municipality, cooperative association, or joint stock association and includes any trustee, receiver, assignee, or personal representative thereof.
"Pipeline facility" means new and existing piping, rights-of-way, and any equipment, facility, or building used in the transportation of gas or in the treatment of gas during the course of transportation.
"Piping" means pipe, tubing, hoses, fittings, valves, pumps, connections, safety devices or related components for containing the flow of hazardous fluids.
"Storage tank" means a container for storing a hazardous fluid, including an underground cavern.
"Transfer piping" means a system of permanent and temporary piping used for transferring hazardous fluids between any of the following: Liquefaction process facilities, storage tanks, vaporizers, compressors, cargo transfer systems, and facilities other than pipeline facilities.
"Transfer system" includes transfer piping and cargo transfer system.
"Vaporization" means an addition of thermal energy changing a liquid or semisolid to a vapor or gaseous state.
"Vaporizer" means a heat transfer facility designed to introduce thermal energy in a controlled manner for changing a liquid or semisolid to a vapor or gaseous state.
"Waterfront LNG plant" means an LNG plant with docks, wharves, piers, or other structures in, on, or immediately adjacent to the navigable waters of the United States or Puerto Rico and any shore area immediately adjacent to those waters to which vessels may be secured and at which LNG cargo operations may be conducted.
