19. ANTI SURGE: Since compressor surge can only occur when
certain pressure and flow conditions are met, an anti surge
device generally consists of automatic instrumentation
designed to prevent these conditions. It may be actuated by
flow or pressure conditions, or both, and it may control either
flow or pressure or both.
22. BACK FLUSH (Back Wash): Reverse the normal flow of liquid
through a screen or condenser to remove all the trapped
particles.
33. BLOWER: Air brake type fan with the Expansion Turbine. It is
run by the energy available from the expansion of air (or WN) in
the turbine. Blowers or fan usually dont provide appreciable
pressure rise but are used to more large amount of gases.
37. BONNET: The portion of a valve body through which the stem
leaves the body. The bonnet contains the stem packing. The
bonnet may be extra long for cold service or finned for hot
service.

used to carry current in electrical switchgear.

66. CHECK VALVE: A valve with an internal flapper that will allow
liquid or gas to flow in one direction only.
93. CRANE: A petrol or diesel lifting device with a long boom and
capacity for lifting heavy equipments.
94. CRITICAL SPEED: The RPM at which a rotating piece of
equipment shakes or vibrates as it passes through different
speed ranges, usually occurs during startup.
113. DOUBLE VALVE AND VENT: To close off two valves in the
same line and vent between these valves.
115. DOWN STREAM: A point in the direction of flow away from the
point in question.
116. DRIER: A vessel filled with a chemical, so that the gas (or air)
can pass through and the moisture absorbed by the chemical.
147. FIRE WATER: Water from plant fire lines used for
emergencies.
164. GEAR PUMP: A pump with gears inside the housing. As the
gears turn, cavities are created which allows the liquid to be
moved from the suction of the pump to the discharge. A
positive displacement pump.
H
171. H2O: Symbol for water.
175. HIGH LIMIT (Alarm): An alarm (with light & bell) at which some
tripping is set to save the equipment and process.
173. HOSE: Utility hose is of fiber and rubber used for nitrogen, air
or water.
178. HOT WORK: Work involves fire, flame, spark, etc. Needs
special work permit allowing fire to be used for the equipment
repair/installation.
187. INERT GAS: A gas mixture of gases which contains only trace
quantities of oxygen (as GN).
Example:
194. INTER FACE: The point at which two dissimilar liquids are
together.
Example:
a) If Expansion Turbine trips due to low oil pressure, it cannot
be restarted until oil pressure is normal
b) Air Compressor cannot be started until all interlocks
cleared.
204. LINE: Pipe from one point to another. Used for transferring
liquid or gas from one place to another.
210. LOW LIMIT: Certain preset lower limit point below which the
variable should not go.
Example:
a) Low level for EV Cooler
b) Low seal gas pressure for Expansion Turbine
M
211. MACHINEST: One who uses machine tools (lathe, drill press,
mill, etc.) to reproduce machine parts from metal, plastic, etc.
212. MAKE UP: Feed need to replace that which is lost by leakage
or normal use in a close circuit, recycle operation.
217. MANUAL:
Example:
See I-3
268. PIPE RACK: Support for pipes usually 4 5 meters above the
ground in areas where trucks and cranes operate.
273. PPM (Parts Per Million): This term is used to define the
quantity of impurities in chemicals, regardless of what they may
be. This quantity is referred to on a weight basis, such as 1
pound of impurity in 1 million pounds of refined product.
290. PUMP: A machine that raise, transfer fluids. Used in the plant
to circulate cooling water, liquid oxygen, etc.
293. PUMP, OIL: A pump of the gear, vane, or plunger type, usually
an integral parts of the automotive engineer; it lifts oil from the
pump to the upper level in the splash and circulating systems,
and in force-feed lubrication it pumps the oil to the tubes
leading to the bearings and other parts.
300. PURGE:
R
302. RACK OUT: To open an electrical circuit by rolling (or racking)
out the breaker section of the switchgear.
317. RECYCLE:
331. RUPTURE DISC: A pressure relief device that will break or tear
if the pressure reaches its bursting limit. Usually, a thin piece of
metal or a composition material designed to rupture (split) at a
given pressure.
Example: LO2 sample from LO2 atm tank for acetylene check.
GN2 sample ex-column
347. SCALE:
349. SCRUBBER:
350. SEAL:
352. SEAT:
a) To fit correctly in or on a holder such as to seat a valve in a
pipeline.
363. SIEVE TRAY: A plate with a large number of small holes drilled
in it. The tray has weirs and comers similar to the bubble cap
tray, but no bubble caps. The vapor passes through the plate
holes, through the liquid level maintained by the weir, and on to
the next ray. Sieve trays allows for much higher column
capacities for same diameter vessel than do bubble caps.
373. SOAP TEST: Test method used to detect leaks, because the
soap and water make bubble at the leak.
394. SUMP PUMP: A small, single stage vertical pump used to drain
shallow pits or sumps.
395. SURGE: A sudden change in flow, level, temperature,
pressure, etc. Normally refers to electrical or compressor
system malfunction. Electrical surge usually consists of large
variation in voltage or amperage in a system. When
compressed fluid flows back toward the compressor, due to
some restriction at the discharge end (as a closed valve, high
pressure, etc.), it is said to be in SURGE.
T
400. TANK: A receptacle designed to hold or store liquids.
423. TUBE SIDE: A term used to describe the internal portion of the
tubes in a heat exchanger.
424. TURBIDITY: Slight cloudiness of in a solution (liquid) caused
by fine suspended particles.
430. VACUUM: Any space from which air or fluid or gases have
been completely or partially removed. Its pressure is measured
in relation to air pressure (760 mm) as expressed in mm of
mercury.
433. VALVE (3-way): A valve having three ports usually flowing into
bottom and out either of the other two, depending on handle
setting.
440. VALVE, PLUG: A valve fitted with a plug that has a hole
through which fluid flows and that is rotatable through 90 for
operation in the open or closed position. Also known as plug
cock. Not in common use on cryogenic plants.
444. VALVE STEM: The rod by means of which the disk (gate) or
plug is moved to open or close a valve. In case of cryogenic
valve, it may be very long to reduce transfer of heat/cold.
453. VENTILATE: Use an air mover (fan) to force air into a vessel
that is already open to the air and ventilate until only fresh air is
in the equipment.
462. VOLUME FLOW RATE: The volume of the fluid that passes
through a given surface in a unit time.
