🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR regulations on marine engineering and boilers • Purpose and operating limits of fusible plugs as a safety device • Typical steam temperature ranges in auxiliary boilers and when metal alloys in fusible plugs begin to lose reliability

💭 Think About

• Think about the temperature at which a fusible plug’s alloy is designed to melt safely—would it be close to normal low‑pressure boiler temperatures or far above them? • Compare each answer choice with realistic steam temperatures for auxiliary boilers: which temperatures would make a fusible plug ineffective or unsafe? • Ask yourself: at what approximate temperature range does the material in a fusible plug stop behaving predictably as a safety device?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 52 or 54 (power boilers and pressure vessels) for specific wording on fusible plugs and temperature limits. • Check whether the listed temperatures are more typical of water/low-pressure steam (around 212°F) or high-temperature superheated steam (hundreds of degrees above saturation). • Confirm that the chosen temperature is a realistic upper limit for safe fusible plug operation, not an everyday operating temperature for high‑pressure or superheated boilers.
