(b) Definitions.
Atmospheric tank- means a storage tank which has been designed to
operate at pressures from atmospheric through 0.5 p.s.i.g. (pounds per
square inch gauge, 3.45 Kpa).
Boiling point- means the boiling point of a liquid at a pressure of 14.7 pounds
per square inch absolute (p.s.i.a.) (760 mm.). For the purposes of thissection, where an accurate boiling point is unavailable for the material in
question, or for mixtures which do not have a constant boiling point, the 10
percent point of a distillation performed in accordance with the Standard
Method of Test for Distillation of Petroleum Products, ASTM D-86-62, whichis incorporated by reference as specified in 1910.6, may be used as the
boiling point of the liquid.

Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang
Catastrophic release- means a major uncontrolled emission, fire, or explosion,
involving one or more highly hazardous chemicals, that presents serious
danger to employees in the workplace.Facility- means the buildings, containers or equipment which contain a
process.
Highly hazardous chemical- means a substance possessing toxic, reactive,flammable, or explosive properties and specified by paragraph (a)(1) of this
section.
Hot work- means work involving electric or gas welding, cutting, brazing, or
similar flame or spark producing operations.
Normally unoccupied remote facility- means a facility which is operated,
maintained or serviced by employees who visit the facility only periodically to
check its operation and to perform necessary operating or maintenance tasks.No employees are permanently stationed at the facility. Facilities meeting this
definition are not contiguous with, and must be geographically remote from
all other buildings, processes or persons.

24/288
Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang
Process- means any activity involving a highly hazardous chemical including
any use, storage, manufacturing, handling, or the on-site movement of such
chemicals, or combination of these activities. For purposes of this definition,any group of vessels which are interconnected and separate vessels which
are located such that a highly hazardous chemical could be involved in a
potential release shall be considered a single process.
Replacement in kind- means a replacement which satisfies the designspecification.
Trade secret- means any confidential formula, pattern, process, device,
information or compilation of information that is used in an employer'sbusiness, and that gives the employer an opportunity to obtain an advantage
over competitors who do not know or use it. SeeAppendix E to
1910.1200 Definition of a Trade Secret (which sets out the criteria to be
used in evaluating trade secrets).

* As a rule of thumb, start with a shade that is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to
a lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone without going below the
minimum. In oxyfuel gas welding or cutting where the torch produces a high yellow light,it is desirable to use a filter lens that absorbs the yellow or sodium line in the visible light
of the (spectrum) operation.
** These values apply where the actual arc is clearly seen. Experience has shown that
lighter filters may be used when the arc is hidden by the workpiece.
