    Study Notes

    • Boiler #1: Small steam drum, only equipped with a handhole.

    • Boiler #2: Larger shell, requires a manhole for inspections and maintenance.

    • Due to connection to a common steam header, Boiler #2 requires block and bleed valves in the steam line.

    • If Boiler #1 had a manhole, it too would need a block and bleed system.

    • Steam Line Stop Valves and Drains (ASME BPVC I): Required steam shut-off valves must be equipped with a position indicator.

    • Feedwater Piping (ASME B31.1): Each feedwater line to a boiler is required to have a check valve and a stop valve.

    • When multiple boilers are fed from a common source, a globe or regulating valve is required in the branch to each boiler.

    • Blowoff Piping (ASME B31.1): Boilers with allowable working pressures over 100 psig (690 kPag) require two slow-opening blowoff valves.

    • Traction and portable boilers, as well as forced circulation and electric steam boilers with a normal water content of 380 L (100 US gallons) or less, require only one blowoff valve.

    • Miscellaneous Piping (ASME B31.1): Various fittings attached to a low-pressure steam boiler include: a steam outlet stop valve, feedwater inlet stop and check valves, blowoff valves, vent valve, and water level controls.

    • Steam Outlet and Stop Valve (ASME BPVC IV): The steam produced in the boiler leaves through the steam outlet, and flows through the main header to the branch lines.

    • Gate valves and globe valves are commonly used on the steam outlet of a boiler.

    • Stop valves are used in the supply and return pipe connections of single and multiple boilers.

    • Boiler #1: Small steam drum, only equipped with a handhole.

    • Boiler #2: Larger shell, requires a manhole for inspections and maintenance.

    • Due to connection to a common steam header, Boiler #2 requires block and bleed valves in the steam line.

    • If Boiler #1 had a manhole, it too would need a block and bleed system.

    • Steam Line Stop Valves and Drains (ASME BPVC I): Required steam shut-off valves must be equipped with a position indicator.
