🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler operations during watch relief – What conditions must be stable to safely take over the watch? • Immediate vs. long‑term concerns – Which items affect safe boiler firing right now versus over the next few hours? • Critical pressures/levels for continuous combustion – Think about what must be correct so the flame and steam production stay steady.

💭 Think About

• When you walk into the fire room to relieve the watch, what two or three readings do you look at first on the boiler front to know the plant is stable? • Which of the listed choices would cause an immediate problem with steam supply or boiler safety if it is out of limits? • Which options seem more like routine checks done during the watch or on rounds, rather than the very first thing to verify before taking over?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly indicates boiler output condition at that moment. • Decide which items are critical for immediate safe operation, not just for planning or housekeeping. • Ask yourself: if this value were wrong, would I refuse to take the watch until it’s corrected? Focus on that item.
