B-1.1, r. 6.1 - Regulation respecting pressure installations

Section 1 Disposition versions

2018-03-08

1. In this Regulation, unless the context indicates otherwise,

“accessory” means a component connected to a pressure installation or forming part thereof, including a fitting, a valve, a cock, a water-level indicator, a gauge, an injector, a regulating or control device as well as a device subject to this Regulation as an accessory under the parameters provided for in figures a, b and c of section 2; (accessoire)

“boiler” means pressure equipment equipped with a direct power source used to heat a heat-carrying liquid or transform it into steam; (chaudière)

“diameter” means the inside diameter of a cylindrical vessel. The width or inside diagonal of a non-cylindrical vessel is also considered a diameter; (diamètre)

“direct power” means the power directly supplied to pressure equipment by means of electric or solar power, or by the combustion of a solid, a liquid, a gas or a mixture of the three; (énergie directe)

“expansion tank” means a pressure vessel used to provide a pneumatic cushion for the expansion of the water in a closed hot water heating system or cooling system; (réservoir de dilatation)

“hot water tank” means a pressure vessel not equipped with a direct power source and used to heat water or to store hot water; (réservoir à eau chaude)

“hydropneumatic tank” means a pressure vessel containing a liquid and compressed air used as damper or propeller; (réservoir hydropneumatique)

“lethal substance” means a toxic gas or liquid presenting a risk of death. The lethal concentration 50 (CL50) is used to determine the lethal potential of a substance; (substance létale)

“low pressure” means

(1)  gauge pressure of 103 kPa or less for steam and gases;

(2)  gauge pressure of 1,100 kPa or less for water at a temperature of 120 °C or less;

(3)  vapour pressure of 205 kPa or less in absolute pressure for liquids other than water at the maximum operating temperature; (basse pression)

“owner-user” means a person or partnership that, for their own account, operates or uses a pressure installation, regardless of who is the owner; (exploitant-utilisateur)

“piping” means a system of pipes and fittings, including a manifold, used exclusively to carry a fluid from one point to another; (tuyauterie)

“pressure installation”, depending on the context, means one or more of the following pieces of pressure equipment assembled to form an integrated, functional whole: a vessel or boiler intended to contain combustible or non-combustible gas or a liquid under pressure, and any pipes and accessories connected to it; (installation sous pression)

“recognized person” means a person or body recognized by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (the Board) in accordance with Chapter VI to proceed with a compliance evaluation or to give an approval, an authorization or a certificate required under this Regulation; (personne reconnue)

“safety device” means a device to protect against overpressure designed to release the pressure excess, in particular a safety valve, a relief valve, a safety relief valve or a rupture disc; (dispositif de sûreté)

“thermal fluid” means a heat-carrying fluid other than water and water-glycol mixtures that is used to transfer heat without vaporisation; (fluide thermique)

“water heater” means a pressure vessel equipped with a direct energy source in which water destined for exterior use is heated to a temperature of 99 °C or less and to a pressure of 1,100 kPa or less. The heat source and control devices are an integral part of the water heater; (chauffe-eau)

“welder” means a person qualified to carry out welding operations; (soudeur)

“welding” means the permanent assembly of materials by welding, brazing or fusing. (soudage)
