maximum allowable working pressure

maximum allowable working pressure means the maximum working pressure that is specified by the manufacturer in the plans and specifications accepted and registered by the provincial authorities and that is set out in the record referred to in section 5.18. (pression de fonctionnement maximale autorisée)

maximum temperature

maximum temperature means the maximum temperature that is specified by the manufacturer in the plans and specifications accepted and registered by the provincial authorities and that is set out in the record referred to in section 5.18. (température maximale)

NDT technician

NDT technician means a person who performs nondestructive testing and who is certified to carry out such testing. (technicien END)

pipeline

pipeline has the same meaning as in section 2 of the National Energy Board Act, but does not include boilers. (pipeline)

pressure piping system

unfired boiler

unfired boiler means a boiler in which steam or other vapour is generated by a source of heat other than combustion and includes an electric boiler. (chaudière sans combustion)

waste heat boiler

waste heat boiler means an indirect-fired boiler that utilizes waste gases produced by the primary process to generate steam. (chaudière à récupération de chaleur)
