A variable-sloped pedestrian walkway that links a fixed structure or land with a floating structure. Gangways that connect to vessels are not addressed in this Code.
Industry:Fire safety
A variable liquid level gauge in which a relatively small positive shutoff valve is located at the outside end of a straight tube, normally installed vertically, that communicates with the container interior.
Industry:Fire safety
A variable liquid level gauge consisting of a small positive shutoff vent valve located at the outside end of a tube that has a bent end inside the container and can be manually rotated to determine the liquid level in the container. It is equipped with a pointer and an outside dial to indicate the liquid level.
Industry:Fire safety
A vaporizer wherein an electric element is immersed directly in the LP-Gas liquid and vapor.
Industry:Fire safety
A vaporizer that derives heat for vaporization from a naturally occurring heat source such as the atmosphere, seawater, or geothermal waters. If the naturally occurring heat source is separated from the actual vaporizing heat exchanger and a controllable heat transport medium is used between the heat source and the vaporizing exchanger, the vaporizer shall be considered to be a remote heated vaporizer.
Industry:Fire safety
A vaporizer that derives its heat from another thermodynamic or chemical process to utilize the refrigeration of the LNG.
Industry:Fire safety
A vaporizer that derives heat for vaporization from the combustion of fuel, electric power, or waste heat, such as from boilers or internal combustion engines.
Industry:Fire safety
A vaporizer in which heat furnished by steam, hot water, the ground, surrounding air, or other heating medium is applied to a vaporizing chamber or to tubing, pipe coils, or other heat exchange surface containing the liquid LP-Gas to be vaporized; the heating of the medium used is at a point remote from the vaporizer.
Industry:Fire safety
A valve designed to close when the liquid or vapor passing through it exceeds a prescribed flow rate.
