Reading Assignment

Please read about steam boiler steam piping systems, accessories and fittings in your textbook.

Introduction

After this week, the student will understand and apply the gained knowledge to describe the steam boiler steam system fittings which include various valves such as different safety valves, pressure gauges, steam separators, stop valves and how these fittings, piping and related components have be constructed and installed in strict accordance with ASME fittings. The student will also explore the many steam boiler steam system accessories that allow the steam boiler to deliver the steam where it’s needed. There are many accessories for the steam system and these include but are not limited to blow down piping and related controls, various water tanks, steam separators, super heaters/desuperheaters, pressure reducing devices, turbines, traps and condensate piping/pumps and control devices. At the end of the week, the student will also explore how turbines are used in these systems to generate electricity by using steam from the boiler.
