Ohio Admin. Code 1301:3-4-08 - Standards for conducting and reporting hydrostatic tests
(A) All historical
boilers shall pass a hydrostatic test at one and one-quarter of the boiler's
maximum allowable working pressure every three years or more frequently if
required by the inspector. The triennial hydrostatic test shall be conducted in
the presence of a general inspector. Upon successful completion of the
hydrostatic test and all other aspects of the
inspection , the
board
inspector shall
issue a sticker indicating the approved boiler's maximum allowable working
pressure and the year and month the inspection was performed. The sticker shall
be prominently displayed on the boiler.
(B) A hydrostatic test of
an
a
historical boiler shall be conducted at a pressure one and one-quarter of the
maximum allowable working pressure of the boiler. An accurate test gage shall
be used when hydrostatically pressure testing an
a historical
boiler. The boiler gage may be calibrated against the test gage. The water
temperature during the test shall be between sixty and one hundred twenty
degrees Fahrenheit. The required hydrostatic test pressure shall be maintained
for the duration of the inspection without distortion or leakage in any of the
pressure retaining boundaries or appurtenances of the boiler. A report of the
hydrostatic test shall be submitted to the historical boilers licensing board
division of industrial compliance within fifteen days
of the date of the test. Upon successful completion of a hydrostatic test and
submittal of the test form, the
board
division shall issue a sticker indicating the test's
successful completion date. The sticker shall then be applied to the boiler's
certificate of operation as proof of completion of the required triennial
hydrostatic test for an
a historical boiler.
