2.0 DEFINITIONS

2.1 Technical

The technical terms used in this specification are defined in paragraph 1.4 of API 614, Third Edition, and
as follows:

Console

Is a total oil supply system whose components and controls are packaged as a single unit on a continuous or
joined baseplate (packaged skid unit). This arrangement requires the Owner to make only external

Maximum Sealing Pressure

Is the highest pressure expected at the seals during any specified static or operating conditions and during
start-up and shutdown.

Normal Flow

Is the total amount of oil required by equipment components such as bearings, seals, couplings and steady-
state controls. It does not include transient flow for controls, or oil bypassed directly back to the reservoir.

Normal Operating Point

Is the point at which usual operation is expected and optimum efficiency is desired. This point is usually
the point at which the Vendor/Contractor certifies that performance is within the tolerances stated in this
standard.

Special-Purpose Application

Is an application for which the oil system is designed and constructed for uninterrupted, continuous supply
and control of oil to equipment that is in critical service, and for which there is usually no spare.

2.2 Contractual

The commercial terms used in this specification are defined as follows:

Owner

The oil and gas company, an associate or subsidiary, who is the end user of the equipment and facilities.

The main contractor for a defined piece of work

Sub-Contractor

A company awarded a contract by a contractor to do part of the work awarded to the Contractor.

Inspection Authority

The organisation representing the Owner or Vendor/Contractor that verifies that the equipment and
facilities have been designed, constructed, inspected and tested in accordance with the requirements of this
specification and the Purchase Order/Contract.
