Installation
of Power Boilers, is part of a series of online courses
designed with installers of pressure equipment in mind. The course
first discusses regulations, laws, and standards, then moves into
specific requirements for power boilers.
At the beginning of
the course students asked to print a "Checklist of Questions" related to the
installation of pressure equipment which may then be used as a guide when
in the field.
Learning
Outcomes
After completing this course, students will be able to:
Explain why regulation was needed,
and how it became standardized.
Describe how nationally recognized codes and standards
are
used to create local jurisdictional laws and regulations.
Identify codes that are particularly relevant
to installers of pressure-retaining items.
Identify organizations that have
been key to the development of codes and standards.
Describe the general guidelines for installation of power
boilers found in NBIC Part 1, Section 1.
Explain the specific rules for power
boiler installation found in NBIC Part 1, Section 2.
Identify the requirements for pressure relief devices on
power boilers, including set point requirements; drainage and discharge
requirements; and pressure relief device requirements for economizers,
superheaters, and forced-flow steam generators.
