T - correct answer T/F All steam boilers must have one or more safety valves.
T - correct answer T/F An open feedwater heater vents gases to the atmosphere.
F - correct answer T/F A hydrostatic test will determine whether a steam boiler has
sufficient relieving capacity.
T - correct answer T/F When boilers are set in battery, the main steam stop valves,
bottom blowdown valves, and feedwater valves should be locked closed before anyone
enters the boiler drums.
F - correct answer T/F Open and closed feedwater heaters are never used at the same
time.
T - correct answer T/F In an open feedwater heater, the water and steam come into
direct contact; in a closed feedwater heater, the water and steam are separated.
T - correct answer T/F An economizer is a fuel-saving device that reclaims heat from
the gases of combustion.
F - correct answer T/F Soot accumulation on the tubes of a watertube boiler does not
affect the efficiency of the boiler.
F - correct answer T/F Scale protects the boiler heating surfaces.
F - correct answer T/F Boiler corrosion cannot be prevented as long as water is in
contact with metal.
, T - correct answer T/F To prevent water hammer, water should be drained out of all
high pressure steam lines
T - correct answer T/F Dry saturated steam is in a gaseous state.
F - correct answer T/F Pressure on water does not change the boiling point of the water.
F - correct answer T/F The stop valve in a boiler feedwater line should have the pump
discharge pressure on the top of the valve disc when the valve is closed.
T - correct answer T/F According to the ASME Code, weighted lever safety valves
cannot be used on boilers.
F - correct answer T/F The interior of the Bourdon tube in a steam pressure gauge is
always filled with live steam when it is operating.
T - correct answer T/F Safety valves on superheaters should be set to open before main
safety valves on boilers.
T - correct answer T/F When air preheaters or economizers are used in a boiler,
induced draft is usually employed.
T - correct answer T/F Waterwalls permit greater heat absorption per cubic foot of
furnace volume than refractory walls.
T - correct answer T/F A steam trap is a device that removes air and condensate
without loss of steam.
F - correct answer T/F Steam traps are only used on high-temperature hot water
systems.
T - correct answer T/F Steam traps are used wherever condensate collects.
F - correct answer T/F A boiler feedwater pump cannot become steambound.
F - correct answer T/F In both firetube and watertube boilers, the fire is inside the tubes.
T - correct answer T/F Foaming can lead to carryover.
Steam entering the huddling chamber exposing a larger area for the steam pressure to
act on - correct answer ___ makes a pop-type safety valve pop open.
Pulling the test lever by hand and then releasing it to allow it to "snap" closed - correct
answer Manual testing of the safety valve is accomplished by ___.
