Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Refractory brickwork or burner throat cracking from repeated thermal cycling
  • Waterside scale build-up from poor feed water quality reducing heat transfer
  • Burner flame instability or poor atomization causing sooting on fireside tube surfaces
  • Safety valve seat weeping/leakage after repeated lifts
  • Water level control (float or probe) fouling causing false low-water trips
  • Manhole/handhole door gasket leakage after repeated openings
  • Waterline oxygen pitting from inadequate feed water deaeration or oxygen scavenger dosing

Inspection checklist

  • Visual check of furnace refractory and burner throat for cracking
  • Waterside heating surfaces for scale at each internal opening
  • Fireside tube surfaces for soot deposits affecting heat transfer
  • Safety valve lift test and reseating check
  • Low-water alarm and cut-out functional test
  • Feed water chemistry (pH, hardness, oxygen scavenger residual, conductivity)
  • Burner flame pattern and combustion air/fuel ratio
  • Manhole/handhole gaskets and door dogs for tightness
  • Gauge glass and pressure gauge condition/calibration
  • External casing/lagging for hot spots indicating internal insulation failure

Service intervals

Feed water chemistry checkdaily or each watch
Gauge glass blow-downdaily
Low-water alarm functional testweekly
Safety valve lift testper class requirements, typically annually
Burner nozzle cleaning/inspectiontypically every 1000-2000 running hours - confirm against the manufacturer's schedule
Internal waterside/fireside inspectionannually or per the class continuous survey scheme for this boiler

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Safety valve set-pressure driftreseat or renew when drift exceeds the tolerance stated by class - commonly a few percent of set pressure - confirm against the boiler's own certificate
Waterside scale thicknesskeep below the level stated in the maker's manual for this heating surface - even a thin layer measurably raises fireside metal temperature
Refractory throat wearrepair or renew before cracking penetrates toward the shell - assess at each internal survey

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Burner nozzle/atomizer assembly
  • Ignition electrodes
  • Flame scanner/photocell
  • Safety valve spring and seat set
  • Water level control float or probe assembly
  • Manhole/handhole gasket set
  • Feed check/non-return valve internals

Safety

  • Pressurized steam system - risk of severe scalding from leaks or valve operation
  • Hot external casing and uninsulated fittings
  • Combustion air/fuel explosion risk on burner light-off if the purge sequence is bypassed
  • Defeating low-water safety trips can allow overheating and furnace/tube failure
  • Confined space entry required for internal drum inspection - test atmosphere first

Class survey

Boilers are typically surveyed under a fixed or continuous survey scheme including internal inspection, hydraulic/pressure test, and safety valve accumulation test at intervals set by class; water treatment logs and safety valve lift records are commonly reviewed alongside the physical inspection.

Estimated lifetime: Not normally rated in running hours - auxiliary oil-fired boilers of this class commonly remain in service 20-25 years with sound feed water treatment and periodic pressure-part renewal; actual life depends heavily on water treatment quality and duty cycle rather than hours run.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
