The Board of Boiler Rules meeting was called to order by the Chair on May 24, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. The Board of Boiler Rules Public Hearing regarding the 4.16% fee increase in WAC 296-104- 700 was held on May 24, 2017, from 10:05 a.m. to 10:10 a.m. Agenda Item 1. The meeting agenda was reviewed and approved as written with the addition of department notes, which added a request from the Washington State Boiler Inspectors Association (WSBIA) to move the start time of the future Board of Boiler Rules study session time from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. This request is to assist the association accomplish two goals, (1) hold their quarterly meetings in Tacoma, and (2) to allow state inspectors to be involved and participate in the board’s study session. Washington Commissioned Inspector’s input is critical to the WAC revision process as they are the main conduit for conveying the future changes to their stakeholders and insuring the public’s safety. Page 1 of 10 Board of Boiler Rules Meeting Minutes May 23 & 24, 2017 Department of Labor & Industries, Tacoma, WA Agenda Item 2. The minutes from the February 22, 2016 meeting were reviewed and approved as written. The department added language to the request form for future state specials to have Positive Material Identification (PMI) tests done to unknown materials PRIOR to presenting their request package to the board meeting. The board will reject any future state special requests involving unknown materials in the construction of the boiler/pressure vessel without PMI test results. Agenda Item 3. Public Hearing Agenda: Held on May 24, 2017 Chapter WAC 296-104-700 Changes The department has proposed a fee increase of 4.16% for fiscal year 2018 (OFM’s maximum allowable fiscal growth rate). L & I’s fiscal management has concluded that the Boiler Program’s budget and projected revenue indicate a fee increase is necessary to cover the program’s operating expenses for the coming 2017-2019 biennium. Attached is the official court reporter meeting minutes for the May 24, 2017, public hearing. The Board received no public comments during the public hearing. The proposed WAC 296- 104-700 revision listed above were reviewed and unanimously approved by the board. The new fees will be effective July 31, 2017 and published on the boiler website and in the next hardcopy publication of the boiler law. The Public Hearing portion of the meeting was closed at 10:10 a.m. Agenda Item 4. Washington State Special Request – Special Operating Permit Puget Sound Antique Tractor and Machinery Association 1923 Vulcan Iron Works Fire Tube Boiler. Brian Dykstra, representing Puget Sound Antique Tractor and Machinery Association (PSATMA), Lynden, WA is seeking a Washington State Special for a 1923 non-ASME code Vulcan iron works vertical extended firebox boiler, design number 2933, B/C number 43684 from a museum in Canada. The boiler will be used for display and operation at the annual show in Lynden (8/02/17 – 8/05/17) as well as other events during the year. The boiler was purchased so that it could be restored and operated for historical and educational purposes for their local community. The piping has been removed from the boiler and is ready to be replaced. The company has the original as-build sheets and inspection reports from 1923 to 1949. The boiler shows limited wear and appears to be in overall good condition. PSATMA is requesting operation with a maximum working pressure of 130 psi. This will allow the boiler to have enough capacity to run our 500hp, Corliss steam engine as well as other steam displays the association operates for the public. Page 2 of 10 Board of Boiler Rules Meeting Minutes May 23 & 24, 2017 Department of Labor & Industries, Tacoma, WA The Boiler Board reviewed the following documents: 1. PSATMA written summary of the vessel. 2. Pictures. 3. Design calculations. 4. NDE reports. Brian mentioned that when the association conducted a hydrostatic test on the boiler, they found a small leak on an existing rivet. Brian has contacted NB “R” repair company. A hydro needs to be performed and then operational tests. Based on PSATMA’s calculations the MAWP must not exceed 130 PSI, the board approved the Washington State Special with the following requirements: 1. Repair the leaking rivet by a National Board “R” Stamp Holder. 2. A proper ASME/NB pressure relief device is to be installed. 3. A successful hydrostatic test at 1.25 times the MAWP of 130 psi. 4. A jurisdictional internal and external certificate inspection will be conducted by the state inspector Linda Williamson. 5. Linda Williamson will assign a Washington State Special number after completion of the above listed requirements. 6. Per your association operating standards, only PSATMA trained operators will be allowed to operate this boiler. A letter from the board will be generated informing PSATMA of the approval of their request for a Washington state special with compliance of the above-mentioned requirements. Comments during the meeting: Linda Williamson: Requested that the option N/A (Not Applicable) be added to the checklist. She will send the department edits and give to Brian Dykstra for review/comments. Linda recommends board go forward with the state special. The board is considering adopting the 2015 NBIC and the board has done a lot of work with these codes and expectations for Historical boilers and is grateful for improved guidelines and there is a steam school for women for those interested. Brian Dykstra: What PMI documentation will be required in the future. The department will word smith the requirement with contingencies. Agenda Item 5. WAC 296-104-010 Administrative – What are the definitions of terms used in this chapter? This revision was proposed by the department’s Mike Carlson, to address proper safety standards in addressing discharge piping non-compliant conditions for domestic water heaters, as referenced in RCW 70.79.090 (5). Page 3 of 10 Board of Boiler Rules Meeting Minutes May 23 & 24, 2017 Department of Labor & Industries, Tacoma, WA "Hot water heater" shall mean a closed vessel designed to supply potable (domestic) hot water for external use to the system. All vessels must be listed by a nationally recognized testing agency. and Shall be protected with an approved temperature and pressure safety relief valve and shall not exceed any of the following limits: with the appropriate pressure and relieving capacity ratings. The discharge piping serving a temperature relief, pressure relief valve, or combination of both shall be ridged and have no valves, obstructions, or means of isolation and be provided with the following: (1) Equal to the size of the valve outlet and shall discharge full size to the flood level of the area receiving the discharge and pointing down. (2) Materials shall be rated at not less than the maximum operating temperature rating of the system and approved for such use. (3) Discharge pipe shall discharge independently by gravity through an air gap into the drainage system or outside of the building with the end of the pipe not exceeding 2 feet (610mm) and not less than 6 inches (152mm) above the ground and pointing downwards. (4) Discharge in such a manner that does not cause personal injury or structural damage. (5) No part of such discharge pipe shall be trapped or subject to freezing. (6) The terminal end of the pipe shall not be threaded. (7) Discharge from a relief valve into a water heater pan shall be prohibited. Exception: Where no drainage was provided, replacement water heating equipment shall only be required to provide a drain pointing downward from the relief valve to extend between 2 feet (610mm) and 6 inches (152 mm) from the floor. No additional floor drain need be provided. The discharge piping shall comply with the Latest adopted Uniform Plumbing Code, Section 608.5 and Washington State Amendments. The hot water heater shall not exceed any of the following limits: * Pressure of 160 psi (1100 kpa); * Temperature of 210 degrees F (99°C). *120 gallons in capacity *200,000 Btu/hr (58.61 kW) input Additional requirements: * Hot water heaters exceeding 120 gallons (454 liters) must be ASME code stamped; * Hot water heaters exceeding 200,000 Btu/hr (58.6158 kW) input must be ASME code stamped.

  • Steam As a General Purpose Technology: a Growth Accounting Perspective
    Working Paper No. 75/03 Steam as a General Purpose Technology: A Growth Accounting Perspective Nicholas Crafts © Nicholas Crafts Department of Economic History London School of Economics May 2003 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0)20 7955 6399 Fax: +44 (0)20 7955 7730 1. Introduction* In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest among growth economists in General Purpose Technologies (GPTs). A GPT can be defined as "a technology that initially has much scope for improvement and evntually comes to be widely used, to have many uses, and to have many Hicksian and technological complementarities" (Lipsey et al., 1998a, p. 43). Electricity, steam and information and communications technologies (ICT) are generally regarded as being among the most important examples. An interesting aspect of the occasional arrival of new GPTs that dominate macroeconomic outcomes is that they imply that the growth process may be subject to episodes of sharp acceleration and deceleration. The initial impact of a GPT on overall productivity growth is typically minimal and the realization of its eventual potential may take several decades such that the largest growth effects are quite long- delayed, as with electricity in the early twentieth century (David, 1991). Subsequently, as the scope of the technology is finally exhausted, its impact on growth will fade away. If, at that point, a new GPT is yet to be discovered or only in its infancy, a growth slowdown might be observed. A good example of this is taken by the GPT literature to be the hiatus between steam and electricity in the later nineteenth century (Lipsey et al., 1998b), echoing the famous hypothesis first advanced by Phelps-Brown and Handfield-Jones, 1952) to explain the climacteric in British economic growth.

    A Catechism of the Steam Engine by John Bourne A Catechism of the Steam Engine by John Bourne Produced by Robert Connal and PG Distributed Proofreaders from images generously provided by the Digital & Multimedia Center, Michigan State University Libraries. A CATECHISM OF THE STEAM ENGINE IN ITS VARIOUS APPLICATIONS TO MINES, MILLS, STEAM NAVIGATION, RAILWAYS, AND AGRICULTURE. WITH PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MANUFACTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF ENGINES OF EVERY CLASS. BY page 1 / 559 JOHN BOURNE, C.E. _NEW AND REVISED EDITION._ [Transcriber's Note: Inconsistencies in chapter headings and numbering of paragraphs and illustrations have been retained in this edition.] PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION. For some years past a new edition of this work has been called for, but I was unwilling to allow a new edition to go forth with all the original faults of the work upon its head, and I have been too much engaged in the practical construction of steam ships and steam engines to find time for the thorough revision which I knew the work required. At length, however, I have sufficiently disengaged myself from these onerous pursuits to accomplish this necessary revision; and I now offer the work to the public, with the confidence that it will be found better deserving of the favorable acceptation and high praise it has already received. There are very few errors, either of fact or of inference, in the early editions, which I have had to correct; but there are many omissions which I have had to supply, and faults of arrangement and classification which I have had to rectify.

G~NTLE~Z~.~":--Your attention is respectfully invited to the accompanying reports, as carefully prepared statements of the condition of the depar~tments to which they relate, and leaving but little to be said in addition. Since tile report of the department of Mining a~.t Metallurgy was put in type, Mr. Samuel Bachelder, of Cambridge, has presentedto the Institute his very ingenious dynamometer, which accurately weighs all the power transmitted through it. This will enable the department to keep an exact record of all the power used in the mining and metallurgcial laboratory in run- ning all or any of the machines in use. We have also received a Blake crusher, size 3 rF by 5", and a 12 inch Whelpley and Storer dry pulverizer. The new smelting and blast furnace~ have been fully designed by Pros Ordway~ and their construc- tion begun. Our thanks are due to H. J. Booth & Co., of the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, California, for a very large and generous reduction in the price of the machinery furnished by them; and it is but justice to I. M. Scott, Esq, of that fil~n, who designed and built the five-stamp battery now in our laboratory, expressly for the Institute, to say that it is complete in all its parts, and gives entire satisfaction.

    U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 173 PLATE 1 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 173 CATALOG OF THE MECHANICAL COLLECTIONS OF THE DIVISION OF ENGINEERING UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM BY FRANK A. TAYLOR UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1939 For lale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 50 cents ADVERTISEMENT Tlie scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collec- tions of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organi- zations and to specialists and others interested in the different sub- jects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. Tlie series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens and special collections, and other material of simi- lar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear vol- umes under the heading Contrihutions from the United States Na- tional Eerharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

  • Steam Engine Collection
    STEAM ENGINE COLLECTION The New England Museum of Wireless And Steam Frenchtown Road ~ East Greenwich, R.I. International Mechanical Engineering Heritage Collection Designated September 12, 1992 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers INTRODUCTION It has been said that an operating steam engine is ‘visual music’. The New England Museum of Wireless and Steam provides the steam engine enthusiast, the mechanical engineer and the public at large with an opportunity to experience the ‘music’ when the engines are in steam. At the same time they can appreciate the engineering skills of those who designed the engines. The New England Museum of Wireless and Steam is unusual among museums in its focus on one aspect of mechanical engineering history, namely, the history of the steam engine. It is especially rich in engines manufactured in Rhode Island, a state which has had an influence on the history of the steam engine in the United States out of all proportion to its size and population. Many of the great names in the design and manufacture of steam engines received their training in Rhode Island, most particularly in the shops of the Corliss Steam Engine Co. in Providence. George H. Corliss, an important contributor to steam engine technology, founded his company in Providence in 1846. Engines that used his patent valve gear were built in large numbers by the Corliss company, and by others, both in the United States and abroad, either under license or in various modified forms once the Corliss patent expired in 1870. The New England Museum of Wireless and Steam is particularly fortunate in preserving an example of a Corliss engine built by the Corliss Steam Engine Company.
