Be aware that no leakage or permanent deformation of pressure-containing parts is permissible. Repair all leaks and discrepancies found. Submit a CFR for each test.
CAUTION
Historically, it has been necessary for Contractors to provide and weld install three 4-inch to varying size reducer fittings into each boiler to accomplish the hydrostatic test.
-Base the test pressure and relief settings on the designated boiler’s pressure rating for 15 psi steam and 30 psi water. The operating and relief settings for steam service relief valves has been downgraded from 30 PSI to 15 PSI, which will be the case for all newly installed boilers, however some boilers in the fleet are still rated at 30 psi for steam.
NOTE
Boiler burner assembly igniter gaps are not preset from the factory, and must be set and verified in accordance with TP 2188 prior to attempting any operational tests.
Excessive igniter gaps can result in soot damage to the diffuser cone and poor boiler performance.
