Safety is a major concern during boiler fabrication and operation. Key safety considerations include:

  • Pressure Testing: Boilers must undergo rigorous pressure tests to ensure they can safely handle the required operating pressures.
  • Welding and Structural Integrity: All welds must be inspected to ensure there are no defects that could lead to boiler failure.
  • Code Compliance: Boilers must adhere to safety codes such as ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) or EN (European Standards) for design, fabrication, and installation.
  • Fire and Explosion Risk: Boilers should be designed to prevent the risk of explosion or fire by ensuring proper venting, combustion control, and flame supervision.
