Steam
generating water at elevated pressure and temperature is explosive in nature and
explodes when it is suddenly exposed to Atmospheric Pressure due to failure of
Boilers. Such explosion causes destruction of life and property around these
Boilers. In view of the hazardous
explosive nature of water in Boilers and in consideration of the versatility of
use of Boilers in all types and sizes of Industries starting from a tiny edible
oil mill to a giant Thermal Power Plant, the Indian Boilers Act, 1923, and
Regulations and Rules thereunder, are made to ensure proper design, manufacture,
operation and maintenance of Boilers.
Functions
Initial and Continued Safety of Boilers:
All Boilers are designed and
manufactured as stipulated in the Indian Boiler Regulations, 1950, which is an
exhaustive manufacturing code. Thus, proper design of a Boiler provides initial
safety to a Boiler. The continued safety of a Boiler is ensured by periodical
inspections by Boilers Inspectorate.
