ASME section 1 boiler low level cut offs 1

[lofmatt]

ok I'm missing my ASME section 1. I'm currently moving books are in storage. Can someone tell me what it says about proving boiler low water cut-offs. Is it everyday or every shift. my guys don't want to test them on nightshifts due to lack of I&E support should there be any issue

thanx

This is a Jurisdictional matter that regulates boilers not ASME Code, Section I.

Check with your boiler inspector (insurance or jurisdictional) that inspects your boiler for it's operating certificate.

TN requires a high pressure boiler to be "checked" every :20 min., but that does not mean you have to blow-down the low-water fuel cutoff device each time.

You can also check CSD-1; Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers for the ASME recommendation. Look in Appendix D. Many Jurisdictions use this as a guide.
