FIVE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE STEPS FOR YOUR BOILER
- Equipment
Installation. Install only boiler and pressure vessel equipment
registered with the National Board. Such equipment will be manufactured
in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code. Most jurisdictions and insurance companies
mandate National Board registration.
- Replacement
Parts. Purchase only first quality OEM replacement parts for
any boiler or pressure vessel repair or maintenance effort.
- Training.
Adequately train all personnel who regularly use or maintain a boiler
or pressure vessel. Do not allow a general maintenance person to assume
the responsibilities for day-to-day operation of any boiler or pressure
vessel unless that person has had specific training. R.F.
MacDonald Co. training programs
- Safety
& Efficiency Testing. Establish a regular, periodic safety
testing and efficiency-monitoring program for all boilers. Develop a
checklist. Make sure everyone who encounters the boiler understands
the cautions and warnings and who to call for help. For assistance
in developing a preventive maintenance and efficiency program you may
want to consider implementing the R.F. MacDonald Co. Assured
Efficiency Plan.
- Repairs.
Require that all welded repairs be performed by National Board "R" stamp
holders who are properly trained and qualified to repair boilers and
pressure vessels. These repairs have very specific protocols to help
prevent recurring failures or accidents. "R" stamp repairs signify strict
repair and/or alteration requirements have been met and verified by
a commissioned National Board inspector.
