So my question is, my Cheddar plant still has a small amount of gas left when the water level is down to the bottom of the gauge. Is this now illegal?? I always sail less than 20 minutes so I never reach that point.
I'd like to know who's going to be doing all these inspections?.....Sounds expensive!Dave

Back in 2005... on another WEB site we had a member ***-engineering@wargyll.fsnet.co.uk from a funny sounding named place in Scotland......."Lochgilphead" & he wrote notes & taught many lessons on all things steam....... ....I am suspecting this is the same personLets see if he remembers me......Derek
Can I just get some confirmation - If I want to make a small boiler to power my model engine, am I expected to have it inspected and then buy insurance?
and scrap them
Personally,I try and build to the code and test annually and scrap them at ten years old. Most of my boilers are small and of the simple pot type so theres no great expense involved in replacing them.A thing to remember even our dearest and nearest maybe swayed by a large pay out if an accident should happen and they became injured due to some incompetence on the builders part be that design,manufacture or maintenance .I think it can become an rather emotive subject and some feel that the code is a thing to got round instead of a thing to be embraced.An argument often put forward is that our small model boiler are low pressure and can do little harm hmmmmmmmmHave a look at whats left of a coffe machine that runs at 1.2bar after a material failurehttps://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fnews%2Farticle-1311946%2FSainsburys-coffee-explosion-injures-7-caf.html&ei=OSMiU-LrNYiIhQeT4YDQCA&usg=AFQjCNEs6C1Qpu21GR6_B49TXlbuEOkCMQ&sig2=V2q74OpdVHVl926IO181ig&bvm=bv.62922401,d.ZG4Iv posted this before and been accused of scare mongering .Its your decisioncheers
