Closed container a container sealed by means of a lid or other device capable of preventing the
escape of liquid, vapor, or dusts in the ordinary course of storage, handling, or
use

or similar vessel, which would release dusts, fumes, mists, vapors, or gases to the
atmosphere, unless such release is prevented by a device, equipment, or system
designed for that purpose
Educational laboratory unit a laboratory unit that is used for educational purposes for students through the
twelfth grade
Excess flow control a fail-safe system or other approved device, equipment or system designed to
shut off flow caused by a rupture in a pressurized piping system
Exhausted enclosure a device, typically consisting of a hood equipped with a fan that serves to capture
