Engineers. Designed to support effective preparation and test
readiness. Suitable for welders, inspectors, and professionals
preparing for ASME Section IX qualification exams.
when can safety valves be tested by hand? ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... when the boiler steam pressure is not less
than 75% of the set pressure of the lowest set safety valve.
when should drum vents be closed during start-up? ✓ ✓
...... ANSWER ....... when the pressure reaches 25 psig.
how much load should be on the boilers in order to operate
the soot-blowers? ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... 50% of rated
output,unless it has been demonstrated that there is no

effect on the flame stability due to soot-blowing at loads
below 50% of rating.
the water level is below the gauge glass, what should you
do? ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... shut the fuel off and air but
continue to feed water slowly until the normal water level is
restored
boiler indicators and recorders show that drum water level is
stabilized just below the visible range of the gauge glass.
what should you do? ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... operation
of the unit cans till be maintained provided immediate
action is taken to restore the water level to normal level. this
should be done with care, caution,and undersatnding,using
all indicators available,such as feed water flow-meter,steam
flow meter, drum level recorder and all other instuments that
properly sense the operating conditions of theboiler.
the water level is above the visible range of the gauge glass,
what do you do? ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... shut off the
fuel and combustion air in that order. if the water level does
not recede into the visibe range of the gauge glass within 2

minutes, operate main blowwoff valves,as required to lower
water level.
when is the best time to blow down a boiler? ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... full pressure during periods of low steam
output.
what are the 3 classifications of courses of boiler failures?
✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... overpressure, weakening of the
structure and errors in operation of the combustion
equipment.
