3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
access hole
hole in the stack at the extremity of a sampling traverse, through which test equipment is inserted
3.2
competent person
person who has acquired, through education, training, qualification or experience or a combination of these, the knowledge and skill enabling that person to perform the task required
3.3
diameter
D
internal diameter of a circular stack or the hydraulic diameter of a non-circular stack
Note I to entry: The hydraulic diameter is four times the stack internal area divided by the internal perimeter.
3.4
