    Boiler Safety Valve

    Uploaded by

    Jaroslav Kuruc
    This document defines key terms related to boiler safety valves such as lift, blowdown, reseat, simmering, and chattering. It outlines the required testing procedures for safety valves per the Preventative Maintenance System when valves are removed, reworked, gagged for hydro tests, or show signs of tampering. The testing process involves warming and expanding safety valves before setting them one at a time from the highest to lowest pressure levels. Mechanisms like hand easing gears and fork levers are also checked to ensure proper function.

    Boiler Safety Valves

    62b-206

    Definitions

    Lift or pop - refers to the opening of

    the safety valve


    BLOWDOWN - the pressure drop
    between lift and reseating of the safety
    valve
    Reseat - closing of the safety valve
    without chattering

    Definitions Cont
    Simmering - steam that leaks by the

    seat and disk prior to the lifting of the


    safety valve. Acceptable condition
    within 1% of lifting pressure.
    Chattering - the rapid popping and
    reseating of the safety valve.

    Definitions Cont
    Gag - a mechanical device placed

    on the safety to prevent the safety


    from lifting during testing and
    boiler hydrostatic tests

    Required Testing
    IAW PMS
    When removed or reworked
    After being gagged for hydro
    If lifted by water during hydro when

    not gagged
    Any signs of tampering

    Testing: How Its Done


    Light off the boiler
    Place gags on top of boiler to warm

    and expand
    Place the boiler online with
    equipment necessary to support
    setting safeties

    ONLINE
    MAIN STEAM
    STOP
    OPEN

    AUX
    STEAM
    STOP
    OPEN

    ECONOMZER

    BOILER
    LOCKED
    OPEN

    Testing: CONT
    Ensure boiler water chemistry is within

    standards
    When steam pressure 100 -200 PSI below
    lowest safety valve place gags on safeties.
    (Exceptions: do not gag highest drum
    safety)

    Testing : CONT
    Test/set highest set drum valve.
    Remove gag next lower set valve and

    test/set.
    Remove gag from SUPERHEATER safety
    test/set SUPERHEATER safety.
    Once pilot VAVLE set, test pilot
    SUPHERHEATER combo.

    MLOCS
    Hand easing gear - check cleanliness,

    lubrication, cables pulleys and


    gearboxes free to move
    Fork lever - check clearance usually
    1/16 set IAW manufactures technical
    manual

    MLOCS

    Locks and seals - check for signs of

    tampering
