3 Terms, definitions and symbols
3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 2900.48 and the following apply.
3.1.1

[Source: GB/T 2900.48-2008, definition 3.1.21]
3.1.2
boiler proper
whole boiler composed of drum, water (steam-water) separator, water storage tank, heating surface, header and its connecting pipes, furnace, combustion equipment, air preheater, furnace wall, flue (air) duct, framework (including platform and escalator), etc.
3.1.3
connecting pipe
unheated steam (water) connecting pipes between headers and between header and drum
3.1.4
pressure element
element subjected to pressure of internal or external working substance
Note: A pressure element is the basic unit to compose boiler pressure component.
3.1.5
