POWER ENGINERING PART B EXAM What is the purpose of the Boiler and Pressure Vessels Legislation in Canada? For safety of life and property. What area is covered in the CSA B51? Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Pressure Piping. The actual day to day duties of seeing that all legislation is carried out will be delegated to _____________. Specific Government, or independent non-profit body. In British Columbia, the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Program is the responsibility of ______________. Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services. (lol) For any level of Certification, the type of position and plant a Power Engineer may work in is dependent on the __________ of the power plant. Kilowatt. Name 4 positions that a Power Engineer may become. Chief Engineer, Shift Engineer, Assistant Shift Engineer, and Assistant Engineer. Public Safety Act is an example of _________? Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act. The is the purpose of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act? For the preservation of life and property by ensuring the best in design, construction, installation, inspection, operation, repairs, alteration and supervision of boilers, pressure vessels and pressure piping systems. What type of equipments are the only exceptions in which the Acts and Regulations do not apply. -Boilers below a minimum Power Rating. -Pressure vessels of less than a certain internal diameter and operating below a given pressure.
-Refrigeration systems of less than a minimum capacity. -Any boiler, pressure vessel, or pressure piping system that does not constitute a sufficient hazard to require it to be subjected to the act. True or False? Not all fittings constructed and used within the jurisdiction must be registered in accordance with the regulations. False, all fittings MUST be registered in accordance with the regulations. What must the Boiler inspector check before he/she issues the first certificate of inspection? He/she must ensure that the boiler is stamped with the jurisdiction's identification number. Give two examples of an Adopted code. CSA and ASME Codes. What does CSA B52 cover? Mechanical Refrigeration. The ASME is divided into __ sections. 9 Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping is under the regulation of ___________. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B31.3 what does API stand for? American Petroleum Institute. What does NBBI stand for? National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. What is the purpose of stamping a Pressure Vessel after it's inspection of compliance with the NBBI. So that the boiler/pressure vessel can be freely moved across jurisdictions without further testing.
What are the 3 requirements set by the NBBI for a pressure vessel/boiler to be registered? -It must be constructed using acceptable code (CSA B51) -Manufacturer must have a quality assurance program -A THIRD party must inspect the boiler. True or False? Once a boiler design has been registered and approved, all boilers built using the same design, without any changes to construction or codes/regulations, are applicable as a registered design. True What must be submitted to the regulatory authority (BCSafetyAuthority) when a boiler constructed outside of Canada is to be registered in BC? The name of the inspection agency that approved the boiler design in that region. What does CRN stand for? Canadian Registration Number. What is the CRN number (after the decimal) for BC, AB, SA? 1,2,3. CRN 290.469Y. Where was this design first registered? Manitoba. What does each subsequent number after the decimal in a CRN represent? Other provinces in which it was registered in after the initial registration. How often must a Quality Control program be submitted and to whom? Once every 5 years, to regulatory authority. (BCSA) Where in the ASME code will you find information in the initial start up of a new boiler?
ASME Section VII, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Subsection C2 "Boiler Operation". True or False? The CSA is a non-profit, independent, private sector for organiation that serves the public, business, and government by developing standards. True (for government exam and Plant theory) FALSE in real life, the books they make cost over $11,000.00 just to have a copy of the codes and regulations. Non-profit my ***. The committee of representative that works closely with NBBI and CSA B51 consist of _________. (name 3 different parties) -Provincial and territorial Government departments -Boiler and pressure vessel manufacturers -Boiler insurance companies What is the purpose of CSA B51? To promote safety and uniformity in design, construction, installation, operation, testing, and repair of boilers, pressure vessels, and related equipment. What sections of the ANSI/ASME covers Piping and Fittings? B31.1 for Power Piping B31.3 for Process Piping What are the 3 sections that outline the standards that must be followed when completing repairs to existing pressure equipment? -Categories of fittings -Minimum dimensions of blowoff vessels. -Minimum dimensions of blowoff vessels for coil-tube boilers. What are examples of what Appendices cover? -Development of quality assurance program for defect prevention and in-service reliability. -Guidelines for safety/relief valve repair organizations. -Samples of manufacturer's data report forms for miniature pressure vessels, pressure vessels, water tube boilers, fired process heaters, piping systems;
statutory declaration for registration for fittings; installation report for cast-iron sectional boilers, and repair/alteration report for boilers and pressure vessels. What does the Technical Committee on Mechanical Refrigeration consist of? -Provincial and Territorial government -Professional Engineers Associations -Refrigerating and air conditioning institutes What is the purpose of CSA B52? -To provide for the safe design, construction, installation, operation and repair of refrigerating and air conditioning equipment and systems, and related equipment. -To promote uniform requirements among the provinces. At what pressure Power boilers and what temperature Hot water boilers in which the ASME codes section 1 apply. 103Kpa, 120°C What section in the ASME code covers the construction of low pressure hot water/steam generating boiler? Section 4 - Rules for construction of Heating Boilers What does Section 5 of the ASME code cover? Non-destructive Testing. This includes methods of testing defects of heating surfaces, imperfections and fabricated welds. Includes responsibilities, duties, and qualifications for testing. Where in the ASME would you find information on rules for the care and operation of heating boilers? Power boilers? ASME section 6 ASME section 7 What section in the ASME covers Welding and Brazing Qualifications and procedures?
ASME Section 9. What does ASME section 8 Div 1 cover? Div 2? Div 3? Rules for construction of Pressure vessels. -Covers the minimum safety requirements on pressure vessels exceeding 103kPa, and any vessels over 152mm. -Covers alternative rules to div 1, ONLY APPLIES TO STATIONARY VESSELS. -Alternative rules for High pressure vessels over 69MPa What is the General Composition of Air by volume? 21% oxygen 78% nitrogen 1% other True or False? Sulphur content increases the Heating Value of Air. True Why is sulphur undesirable in combustion air? It's toxic and corrosive nature. What are some products of Perfect Combustion? H20,Co2,N2,O2,SO2 Why will there always be more nitrogen than the amount calculated for complete combustion to take place? Because of the nitrogen content in excess Air. What are the 3 T's for perfect combustion? Time, Turbulence, Temperature. (excess air) Why is hydrogen undesirable in flue gas? Because Hydrogen is a combustible fuel, meaning discharging hydrogen out the stack is a waste of fuel. What is the composition of Air by mass? 23%O2 76%N2 1%other
