1.7.2 Glossary.
Bonding
Electrically connecting units before operations begin in order to equalize any static potential that
might exist and to provide a continuous path for any static potential that might be generated after
operations begin. Static potential is eliminated or prevented by grounding one or more of the
bonded units.
Defective
Condition of a part that prevents the part from performing its intended function, caused by normal
aging, accident or manufacturing imperfection.
Deterioration
Condition of a part caused by weathering, excessive heat, excessive cold, chemical action, etc.
Dry break
Separation of couplings without loss of fuel.
Energize
Apply electrical power.
Grounding
Connecting single or bonded units to a ground rod so that any static potential will be discharged
into the earth. If two or more units are bonded and one is grounded, the entire system is
effectively grounded.
Malfunction
Failure to operate normally.
Monitor
To observe a condition or operation such as that indicated by an indicator light or meter.
Pumpage
The fluid being pumped by the fuel transfer pump
