Figure 12: Hydraulic Draw-Up Sections

Figure 13: Boiler Section Assembly

a. STEAM BOILERS: The assembled boiler must

be subjected to a hydrostatic test of 45 psig to 55

psig.

b. HOT WATER BOILERS: The assembled boiler

must be subjected to a hydrostatic test of not less

than 1½ times the maximum allowable working

pressure, as established by the relief valve

provided with the boiler. For example, a boiler

with a 50 psi relief valve must be subjected to a

test pressure of 75 psig to 85 psig.

WARNING

Failure to properly hydrotest all boilers at the

correct pressure may result in section assembly

failure in operation.

4. EXAMINE BOILER CAREFULLY, INSIDE AND

OUTSIDE, to insure against leaks from cocked

nipples or through concealed breakage caused in

shipping and handling. This precaution is for your

protection and will simplify handling of necessary

replacements and adjustment claims.

5. After making certain that there are no leaks, drain

boiler and remove plugs for boiler trim and other

connections.
