| 3 | Inspection of welds including non-destructive test examination and verification of the heat treatment process in accordance with rules or codes. |
| 4 | Verification of plate preparation and alignment prior to assembly and, on completion of all construction operations, confirmation of circularity of shells. |
| 5 | Identification from the component inspection certificates of components related to the safety of the boiler. |
| 6 | Inspection of components and their installation, including tubes and tube plates. |
| 7 | Inspection of the constructed steam boiler. |
| 8 | Witnessing of hydrostatic pressure tests in accordance with rules or codes. |
DIVISION IIInstallation Inspection
| Item | Requirements |
|---|---|
| 1 | Verification of correct alignment of securing arrangements. |
| 2 | Verification of correct adjustment and operational condition of the connection of the steam boiler to steam, feed-water, blowdown and surface blow systems. |
| 3 | Verification of correct adjustment and operational condition of fuel, combustion air supply and exhaust gas systems, including burners, air fans and air preheaters. |
| 4 | Verification of correct adjustment and operational condition of safety, control and monitoring devices. |
| 5 | Inspection of safety valve relieving capacity in respect of the maximum evaporation capacity of the steam boiler. |
| 6 | Witnessing of hydrostatic pressure tests at the assigned working pressure. |
| 7 | Verification of reliability and sufficiency under trials up to full power under normal working conditions for a suitable endurance period of not less than 2 hours, taking into consideration the size and complexity of the steam boiler. |
PART IVPeriodic General Inspections and Periodic Special Inspections
DIVISION I(Section 19)Periodic General Inspection
| Item | Requirements |
|---|---|
| 1 | Correct adjustment and operational condition of safety valves. |
| 2 | Correct adjustment and operational condition of water gauges and steam boiler valves. |
| 3 | Locations where fluid leakage, metal overheating or metal wastage may occur. |
| 4 | Correct adjustment and operational condition of emergency fuel shut-off valves. |
| 5 | Correct adjustment of controls and monitoring systems of feed-water and fuel and its combustion. |
| 6 | Operational condition of alarm systems, particularly where the boiler is designed for non-continuous local supervision. |
DIVISION IIPeriodic Special Inspection
SUBDIVISION I(Subsection 20(1))Parts to be Inspected
| Item | Requirements |
|---|---|
| 1 | Internal steam and liquid spaces, as far as practicable, of the boiler, superheater and economizer, with all spaces cleaned and removable components removed and where, due to construction features, an adequate internal inspection cannot be carried out, a hydrostatic pressure test of 1.25 times the assigned working pressure of the boiler. |
| 2 | Access and inspection openings. |
| 3 | Boiler mountings, including safety valves and water-level gauges, following opening up and cleaning. |
| 4 | Float chambers and float mechanisms on feed-water regulators, following opening up and cleaning. |
| 5 | Pipes, actuators and other components, incorporated in self regulating and monitoring systems, as far as practicable, without dismantling if the general condition of the component shows that it is suitable for further service. |
| 6 | Emergency fuel shut-off devices. |
| 7 | Combustion spaces following cleaning, excluding uptakes and air preheaters unless there is apparent damage, improper operation or deteriorated condition of the uptakes or air preheaters. |
| 8 | Seams, mountings, seatings, rolling stays, collision chocks and welded attachments, following the removal of insulation and sheathing to the extent considered necessary by the inspector on the basis of the general condition of the boiler. |
| 9 | Plate thickness testing or hydrostatic pressure testing or other non-destructive testing, if there is apparent damage, improper operation or deteriorated condition of the boiler. |
SUBDIVISION II(Subsection 20(2))Intervals
| Item | Requirements |
