: Thanks Bob for your input, I have pretty much read through the ASME, CSD-1 and the NFPA and concluded you are right its not a required law. We are dealing with 3 boilers 5 stories high, 150,000lbs hr at 250psi and our management team is trying to reduce the number of operators needed to safely run the plant. We are trying to justify jobs against people who know our jobs better than us. Thank you again for your input.
this testing requirement is written into the boiler safety law in Mass and the test must be signed off on as completed by a licensed operator. So seems to be at the discretion of the local authorities. In Mass the state Dept of Public Safety is the only real authority to prevent undermanning of boiler plants. Industry groups have continually tried to weaken the laws here.
