Density means the permitted number of dwelling units per
Backpressure means a pressure (caused by a pump, elevated tank or piping, boiler, or other means) on the consumer's side of the service connection that is greater than the pressure provided by the public water system and which may cause backflow.
Psig means pounds per square inch gauge.
CO2 means carbon dioxide.
Altitude means the vertical distance of a level, a point or an object considered as a point, measured from mean sea level (MSL);
voltage means the root-mean-square value of electrical potential between two conductors.
high voltage means the classification of an electric component or circuit, if its working voltage is > 60 V and ≤ 1500 V DC or > 30 V and ≤ 1000 V AC root mean square (rms).
Pressure means the total load or force per unit area acting on a surface.
low voltage means the set of nominal voltage levels that are used for the distribution of electricity and whose upper limit is generally accepted to be an a.c. voltage of 1000V ( or a d.c. voltage of 1500 V). [SANS 1019]
Gasohol means a blended fuel composed of gasoline and fuel grade ethanol.
API Gravity means gravity determined in accordance with ASTM Designation D-287-92 or latest revision thereof.
Biomass means the biodegradable fraction of products, waste and residues from biological origin from agriculture (including vegetal and animal substances), forestry and related industries including fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial and municipal waste;
Negative pressure respirator (tight fitting) means a respirator in which the air pressure inside the facepiece is negative during inhalation with respect to the ambient air pressure outside the respirator.
Runway means a defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the landing and take-off of aircraft;
Coefficient means a number that represents the quantified relationship of each variable to the assessed value of a property when derived through a mass appraisal process
High voltage bus means the electrical circuit, including the coupling system for charging the REESS, that operates on a high voltage.
Extremity means hand, elbow, arm below the elbow, foot, knee, and leg below the knee.
Flash point means the lowest temperature of a liquid at which its vapours form a flammable mixture with air;
Working voltage means the highest value of an electrical circuit voltage root-mean-square (rms), specified by the manufacturer, which may occur between any conductive parts in open circuit conditions or under normal operating conditions. If the electrical circuit is divided by galvanic isolation, the working voltage is defined for each divided circuit, respectively.
Uppermost aquifer means the geologic formation nearest the natural ground surface that is an aquifer, as well as lower aquifers that are hydraulically interconnected with this aquifer within the facility's property boundary.
Finished water means the water that is introduced into the distribution system of a public water system and is intended for distribution and consumption without further treatment, except as treatment necessary to maintain water quality in the distribution system (e.g., booster disinfection, addition of corrosion control chemicals).
Psia means pounds per square inch absolute.
heat pump means a machine, a device or installation that transfers heat from natural surroundings such as air, water or ground to buildings or industrial applications by reversing the natural flow of heat such that it flows from a lower to a higher temperature. For reversible heat pumps, it may also move heat from the building to the natural surroundings;
Outputs means the goods or services that are produced by an entity or other person;
biodiversity means the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems;
