🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler safety valves are the last line of defense against overpressure • Difference between operating a safety valve (reseating, testing) and repair/maintenance actions (blanking, spring adjustment, piping inspection) • Proper immediate response to a leak in a pressure safety device while underway

💭 Think About

• What is the primary purpose of a steam drum safety valve, and how could a leak affect boiler pressure and safety if not handled correctly? • Which option involves an action you can take quickly from the firing platform/control position, without first shutting down and cooling the boiler? • Which choices involve work that is normally done only after the boiler is secured, depressurized, and locked out for maintenance rather than as an immediate underway response?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options require the boiler to be secured, cooled, and depressurized before they can safely be performed • Determine which option involves a normal, designed-in operating feature of the valve (not disassembly, not adjustment, not piping inspection) that can be used to address a leak • Eliminate any choices that sound like maintenance or repair rather than an immediate operational response to a leaking safety valve at sea
