🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for boiler inspections and gauging • When destructive testing (drilling) is required versus when it is optional • Regulatory expectations for non-destructive testing (NDT) accuracy and boiler condemnation criteria

💭 Think About

• Look at which option sounds like an absolute rule and ask: does the CFR really require this every time, or only when certain conditions are met? • Think about how inspectors normally try to avoid damaging equipment. Which answers would cause unnecessary damage if strictly followed? • Consider what normally happens if a boiler shows some loss of thickness: is it automatically condemned, or can it still be used within safe minimums?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR whether drilling/gauging is mandatory at a fixed age (like ten years), or only when needed to determine condition. • Check if the CFR requires condemnation any time thickness is less than original, or if it uses a minimum allowable thickness standard. • Confirm whether there is a specific numerical accuracy requirement (such as plus or minus one percent) for NDT devices in the regulations.

Question 1 of 20

Which of the following statements is true concerning boiler inspections?

The marine inspector may require any boiler to be drilled to determine its actual thickness any time its safety is in doubt.

At the first inspection for certification after a water-tube boiler has been installed for ten years, it shall be gauged by drilling to determine the actual extent of deterioration.

If the thickness found as a result of gauging is less than original thickness, the boiler must be condemned.

Any user of a non-destructive testing device must demonstrate that results with an accuracy of plus or minus one percent are consistently obtainable.
