GOVERNMENT OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR,

CIVIL SECRETARIAT—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

DEPARTMENT.

(Vigilance)

Subject :—Lodging complaints against public servants—instructions

regarding.

–––––––

Circular No. 34-JK(GAD) of 2022

Dated 03-10-2022.

In order to eradicate corruption for providing robust service

delivery mechanism and increase participation of citizens in governance

at various levels, citizens can draw attention of appropriate authority

by making formal complaints regarding any action/inaction on part of

public servant in writing or through other specified means for which

complaint redressal mechanism has already been put in place in the

Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The following instructions are

issued for proper lodging and disposal of these complaints against the

public servants :—

(i) Complaints can be lodged with appropriate authority by

addressing a written communication either directly or through

electronic mode or on portal available for this purpose.

Appropriate authority, after gathering information about

corruption, malpractices and misconduct may take appropriate

action under law against such public servants in a time bound

manner.

(ii) It is, however, reiterated that anonymous or pseudonymous

complaints or complaints containing vague, frivolous, non-

specific allegation should not be taken cognizance of. Further,

complaints about sub-judice matters should also not be

entertained. The guidelines regarding disposal of anonymous/

pseudonymous complaints in the Departments/Autonomous

Bodies etc. have earlier been notified by General Administration

Department, vide Circular No. 29-GAD(Vig) of 2014 dated

31-07-2014, which were reiterated vide Circuiar No. 22-GAD (Vig)

No. 30] The J&K Official Gazette, 27th Oct., 2022/5th Kart., 1944. 227

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

of 2015 dated 10-07-2015. These guidelines have been notified

in consonance with those issued by the Department of

Personnel and Training Ministry of Personnel and Public

Grievances and Pensions, Government of India, vide Office

Memorandum No. 104/76/2011-AVD.I dated 18-10-2013 read

with Office Memorandum No. 104/76/2011-AVD.I dated

18-10-2018 and Central Vigliance Commission’s circulars

bearing No. 07/11/2014 dated 25th November, 2014 and

No. 03/03/2016 dated 7th March, 2016.

(iii) As a standard procedure in these matters, the first step is

to verify whether the complaints are filed by citizens who have

provided their particulars viz. name, address and contact

number. In case, the complaint is anonymous/pseudonymous,

the same is to be filed without any further action. The culture

of anonymous/pseudonymous complaints is to be discouraged.

The complaints which have been filed by persons who have

provided their identity should be processed in accordance with

law and where the complaints are genuine, due action be taken

against the officers/officials under extant rules and guidelines

issued by CVC as well as GAD.

(iv) It is also clarified that there are specific provisions in law to

deal with fake, frivolous and motivated complaints. Importantly,

in cases where it is established that the complaints were lodged

with a malafide intention or an ulterior motive to harass or

harm an innocent Government servant, necessary action should

be taken against such complainants as per law. The following

action can be taken against the persons making the false

complaints :—

ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGISTRATION

21. Importance of registration.—Technical regulations for the

registration of boilers and the scale of fees for registration are prescribed

in Chapter IX of the Regulations. The details of measurement recorded at

the time of registration constitute a permanent record for the boiler and

determine the original pressure at which the boiler is allowed to work. It is

accordingly essential that the work should be done with the greatest care

and precision.

22. Receipt of applications.—Applications for registration shall be

made under section 7 ( 1) of the Act to the office of the Chief Inspector

where the boiler is located and shall be accompanied by a receipt of fee,

specified in Chapter IX. No application shall be accepted without the receipt.

No boiler shall be registered if on measurement the fee is found to be

deficient, untill the deficit has been paid. Any excess payment will be refunded

as per Rule 50 of these rules.

23. Necessity of avoiding delay.—It is essential that no delay should

occur in registration. The measurements required for registration under

section 7(3) should ordinarily be completed and the report submitted to the

Chief' Inspector within 15 days of the receipt of the application complete in

all respects; in no case should the interval exceed 30 days. The Chief

Inspector should issue his orders under section 7(4) without delay.

24. Register of registered boilers.—The Chief Inspector shall

maintain a Register of Registered boilers in serial order in Form A in two

parts; in Part I (boilers originally registered in Jammu and Kashmir) the

registered number of a boiler shall be the one immediately following the last

serial number in the Register. Gap number due to boilers being broken up or

transferred to other Union Territories'/States shall not be filled up. In Part

II (boilers originally registered in other Union Territories/States) entries

shall be made as per rule 26 of these rules.

25. Procedure on transfer of a boiler.—(1) Whenever a boiler is

transferred from another State/UT's into Union Territory of Jammu and

Kashmir the owner shall, under section 6(b) of the Act, apply to the Chief

Inspector for the registration of the transfer; the boiler cannot be used until

registration has been effected. The Chief Inspector shall then obtain from

the State/UT from which the boiler was transferred, the registration book

and memorandum of Inspection book of the boiler before the boiler is

permitted to be used.

No. 23-h ] The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. 11

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—

(2) Whenever any registered boiler is transferred, the transferee shall

give an intimation of the transfer to the Chief Inspector within 15 days from

the date on which the transfer takes effect and no fee shall be charged for

recording an entry regarding such transfer in the Register of registered

boilers.

26. Entry of transferred boiler in Register.—On receipt of the

Registration and Memorandum of Inspection Books, the Chief Inspector

shall enter the boiler under its original number in Part II of his Register, and

shall instruct Inspector of the local area in which the boiler is situated to

enter it similarly in his Register. The Registration book and Memorandum

of Inspection Book shall he kept in the Chief Inspector's office.

27. Note of transferred and dismantled boilers.—Whenever a

boiler has been transferred to another State/UT or broken up, the fact shall

be noted in the Register. In the case of a boiler that has been permanently

dismantled, the Registration Book and the Memorandum of inspection book

shall be destroyed.

VII

ADMINISTRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSPECTION

28. Procedure at Inspection, Internal Inspection.—The Detailed

instructions for the inspection of boilers are contained in Chapter IX of the

Regulations. However, the following general procedure at inspection should

be observed—

At a thorough inspection of a boiler the Inspector should, wherever

the size and construction of the boiler permit, go inside it and make a

thorough inspection of all its internal parts. But before doing so he

should satisfy himself that proper provision has been made for

disconnection from any other boiler under steam.

Should he find that proper provision for disconnection has not been

made or that the boiler has not been properly cleaned or scaled or that

it is unreasonably hot he should decline to proceed with the inspection

and should report the facts to the Chief Inspector for orders under

section 14(2).

When a boiler is of such a size or its construction is such that the

Inspector cannot go inside it there must be sufficient sight holes or

hand holes provided enable him to see the principal internal parts. If

any important part of a boiler is so constructed that the Inspector

cannot examine it, he should report that facts to the Chief Inspector

for orders.

12 The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. [No. 23-h

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

29. External inspection.—Boilers must be examined externally as

well as internally ; particular attention should be paid to the external parts

of the boilers, wherein contact with seating blocks and brick work, especially

when the situation is damp. Having regard to any serious defects discovered,

Inspectors should take care, in order to ensure proper inspection, that boilers,

of which the whole of the outside cannot be readily examined, are cleaned

whenever they consider it necessary of any concealing covering, supports

or fittings. Saddle tanks and engine fittings of locomotive type boilers should

be removed for inspection of the parts underneath at the first inspection

and at any reasonable period afterwards if the Inspector cannot satisfy

himself. If the owners in any special case have any good reasons for not

wishing to clear covered parts, the case should be submitted to the Chief

Inspector for orders. The Inspector must keep in mind that he is not to

certify as efficient any boiler regarding the condition of which he cannot

thoroughly satisfy himself.

30. Inspection of a battery of boilers.—At the inspection of one

boiler of a battery of boilers, the Inspector should take the opportunity of

examining the other boilers under steam with special reference to the water

gauges, pressure gauges, safety valves and steam piping.

31. Proposals for reduction of pressure.—When the Inspector

decides that a boiler in one or more of its parts is no longer fit for the

pressure approved for it, he should, without delay, report his proposals for

reducing the pressure to the Chief Inspector and at the same time submit

this calculations for the wasted parts for check and approval of pressure.

With regard to fitting and wasting of shell plates, the Inspector must bear in

mind that shell plates ordinarily are considerably stronger in the body of the

plate, owing to being unpressed, that at the seams and consequently may

become reduced in thickness to an appreciable extent in the body of the

plate i.e., elsewhere than at the seams and still be stronger than the seam.

32. Repairs to boilers.—Under section 12 of the Act, the sanction

of the Chief Inspector to all repairs proposed for boilers must be obtained

before hand.

A few water tubes or smoke tubes, however, may in an emergency

be renewed pending the sanction of the Chief Inspector but all such cases

must be reported immediately to the Chief Inspector who may, if he deems

fit, notify his sanction to the owner without verification of the renewals by

the Inspector.

Generally in repairing boilers the object to be obtained is to make up

for damage or wastage by suitable compensation, either by renewal or

No. 23-h ] The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. 13

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—

repair of the part affected. Covering patches applied with the object of

hiding defects are a source of danger and must not be passed. Welding by

electric and oxy-acetylene processes may be employed in the repairs of

boilers, but, as the efficiency of the welding depends largely on the skill and

care of the operator each case will have to be decided on its merits.

Proper attention must be paid to the annealing of welded parts. The

Inspector should, wherever possible, be present during some part at least,

of the welding operations.

Extensive repairs such as renewal of furnaces, and plates, parts of

shell fire-boxes, girders, etc., should be supervised, so far as other duties

permit, by the Inspector and at such time when fire-boxes and smoke tubes

of locomotive-type boilers are withdrawn, advantage of the opportunity

should be taken to inspect the internal parts otherwise inaccessible to close

inspection.

Repairs to boilers are prescribed in Chapter IX, Regulation 392 of the

Regulation.

33. Entries in memorandum of inspection books.—The Inspector

shall, as soon as convenient after an inspection, make the necessary entries

in the Memorandum of Inspection Book for the boiler and submit the book

to the Chief Inspector. Care should be taken to preserve the books and to

keep them clean. Inspection notes should be taken to preserve the books

and to keep them clean. Inspection notes should briefly state to what extent

boilers were cleared of brick-work. Lagging or concealing parts ; the general

condition of the boiler; parts requiring attention of repair and if special

preparation is required at the next inspection.

[Inspectors should also note, in the Memorandum of Inspection books

all casual visits, inspections of steam pipes, visits for inspection of repairs,

inquiry into accidents, etc., and so provide a useful record of the history for

the boiler of the information and guidance of Inspectors at subsequent

inspections].

In making inspections it is important that the Inspector should pay

particular attention to entries make in the memorandum of Inspection book

at previous inspection.

34. Entries in certificates.—In addition to the entries required to be

made under Regulation-389 in a certificate for a boiler, the Inspector should

state in the remarks column his requirements, if any, with regard to hydraulic

test, removal of lagging, brick-work or other concealing part for the next

14 The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. [No. 23-h

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

inspection to enable the owner to have the same properly prepared at that

time. He should also state in the same place his requirements regarding the

repair or renewal of any part that may be considered fit only for the period

of the certificate.

In the repairs column should be entered the year of repairs and

description of repairs effected. Only important repairs should be noted.

His remarks should be brief. In the absence of remarks on the condition

of boiler, the boiler will be considered to be in good condition.

35. Engraving of registry number.—Paper slips of the proper size

bearing the registry number allotted for a boiler will be supplied by the

Chief Inspector. The slip should be pasted on the part of the boiler pointed

out by the Inspector and the device traced through with a cutting tool. The

engraving should then be completed by the removal to the prescribed depth

of the metal between the traced lines.

36. Arranging for inspections.—In arranging for inspection particular

attention should be paid to the provisions of rule 17. The notice required by

sections 7 and 8 shall be sent in Form B. If a hydraulic test is necessary in

addition to the ordinary inspection, ample notice must be given to the owner.

37. Issue of certificates and provisional orders.—(1) All

certificates shall be issued after being countersigned by the Chief Inspector.

(2) A provisional order shall be issued in each case of registration

after the hydraulic test of boiler and inspection of steam pipes and feed

pipes connected to the boiler upon the certificate of the Inspector. The

steam test may be taken at any convenient time within the period of the

provisional order, after which, if the test is satisfactory, the certificate under

section 7 shall be issued.

REVERSE OF FORM-B PREPARATION FOR

EXAMINATION

(See Chapter IX of the Regulations)

(Regulation 376)

(A) Preparation for inspection

At every examination of a boiler for the grant of renewal of a

certificate, the boiler shall be empty and thoroughly clean in all its parts. All

doors of manholes, handholes and sightholes and cleaning plugs and all

caps in the headers and mud drums of water tube boilers, all fire bars,

bearers, front plates, bridge plates, fire bridges, brick arches, oil fuel burners

and mechanical stoker fittings shall be removed. All valves and cocks

comprising the boiler mounting shall be opened up and taken apart and the

valves or cocks ground, when necessary, before the Inspector's visit.

Provision shall, if required by the Inspector, be made for the removal

of lagging or brickwork or other concealing part and for the drilling of

plates and for verifying the pressure gauge and safety valve dimensions

and weights. All smoke tubes, exterior of water tubes, smoke boxes and

external flues shall be swept clean.

Provisions shall be made for the effective disconnection of all steam

and hot water communication with any other boiler under steam, as

prescribed in Chapter X of the Regulations. This shall be effected either by

the removal of a length of pipe from the steam and feed piping or by the

insertion or substantial blank flanges. Where blank flanges are employed,

they shall be inserted between the flange of the chest and the pipe attached

to it. No blank flange shall be inserted between a safety valve chest and the

boiler.

In the case of forced flow and forced circulation types of boilers,

provision shall be made for checking that proper circulation is maintained

through all sections of the circuit by the flow of water.

—————————————————————————————

Note :—These provisions to effective disconnection shall extend to every

case wherein a person is sent or with the absent of the owner or

person in-charge goes into boiler for any purpose.

(Regulation 378)

(B) Preparation for hydraulic test

The chest of all mountings subject to steam pressure shall be in place

and shut tight or blind-flanged. The safety valves shall either be jammed

down or removed and the chest opening blind-flanged. The attachment *

for the Inspectors pressure gauge and nipple + for connecting the Inspectors

test pump house shall be in order. All doors shall be properly jointed and

tightened up. The boiler shall he completely filled with water, care being

taken to allow all air to escape and, if possible, a preliminary test not

exceeding the working pressure of the boiler shall be taken before the

Inspector's visit to test the rightness of the joints. When a boiler is

hydraulically tested for the first time, it shall be entirely cleared of lagging

or brickworks; at subsequent tests the lagging or brickwork or portions

thereof, shall be removed, if required by the Inspector.

FORM-C

INSPECTORATE OF BOILERS, JAMMU & KASHMIR GENERAL

WORKING OF BOILERS INSTRUCTIONS

(See Rule 8)

Instruction to Boiler Attendants

These instructions should be frequently and carefully studied with a

view to keeping in mind the precautions to be observed and ordinary

procedure to be followed in the safe working of boilers.

Precautions before starting the Fires

Before starting the fires in a boiler the attendants should—

1.

see that there is sufficient water in the boiler and that the

gauge cocks are working freely ;

2.

ease safety valves, or open cock on top of boiler to allow

air to escape ;

3.

see that the blow-off cock is fully closed and tight ;

4.

see that safety valves and fee check valve are free and

workable ;

5.

note if the pressure gauge pointer is at zero ;

6.

see that the feed pump is in working order.

He must not rely on the supposition that the water he has previously

put in it still in the boiler, as it may have run out without the knowledge

through a leak or open cock, nor can he be sure that the gauge glass shows

the true water level until he has tested it. This is done in the following

manner; shut off the lower gauge cock and empty the glass by the drain

cock; then shut the drain cock and open the gauge cock; if everything is in

order, the water will then rise in the glass to the same height as before.

Raising steam.—In getting up steam in all types of boilers, the

operation should be as gradual as circumstances will allow. Nothing turns a

new boiler into an old one sooner than getting up steam too quickly. Forcing

the fires when starting work is liable to cause straining of the steams and

tubes of the boiler. In the case of large boilers generally steam should not

be got up in less than six hours. Before getting up steam the water level

should be observed, to ensure that water is at the proper heights, in the

No. 23-h ] The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. 37

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—

glass, the pressure gauge noted and the safety valves tried to see they are

free. The blow-off cock should be examined to see that it is completely

shut and tight.

Pressure gauge.—The pressure or steam gauge should be kept in

order and be in such a position as to be easily seen by the boiler attendant.

There should be a plain mark on it showing the highest pressure allowed for

the boiler and the dial should be kept clean so that the figures may easily be

read.

Steam pressure.—Ordinarily, the safety valves will prevent the steam

from rising much above the working pressure, but if the steam gauge shows

it rapid an increase of pressure as to indicate danger of exceeding the

highest limit, water should be immediately fed into the boiler, and the dampers

partially closed in order to diminish the effect of the fire. If however, the

water has fallen so low that there is danger of an accident from this cause,

the fires should be withdrawn before feeding in water the safety valves

eased and if the engine is at rest, it should be started so as to reduce the

pressure. The safety valves are provided to guard against over-pressure.

They should be moved by hand every day so as to prevent them from

sticking. If moved only occasionally, they are liable to leak.

The valve can be tested by slowly raising it a little and when let down,

it should be closed perfectly tight. It should never be opened by a sudden

knock or pull. If it does not close tight, turn it on its seat, until it first, or

when its construction docs not permit this, rise it slowly a few times and let

it down again, but on no account must the valve be screwed down further

or loaded more than what has been allowed by the Inspector.

Safety valves must never be over-loaded and spring valve should

have ferrules or other provisions against the valves being screwed down

too far. In case of an accident resulting from willfull overloading, culprit

might be held criminally responsible at the official inquiry or inquest.

Low water safety valves.—If there is low water safety valves, test

it occasionally by lowering the water level to see that valve begins to blow

at the right point. It should give warning “before” the water level has sunk

too low and before damage can be done when the boiler is open, examine

the floats and lever and see that they are free and that they give the valve

the full rise. With the ordinary type of high steam and low water safety

valve the float should be down at its lowest position and the valve full open

when the boiler is empty.

38 The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. [No. 23-h

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

The water gauge.—These will be kept in best order by frequently

blowing through. The cocks are thus kept in good working condition without

leaking. Blow through the drain cock at the bottom of the gauge and shut

and open the steam and water cocks every few hours. These cocks should

be blown through more frequently when the water is dirty. Should either of

the passage become choked, or whenever the water in the gauge glass

moves sluggishly, the passage must be cleaned. This is best done with a

wire. The gauge glass is so arranged that its top cock connects with the

steam space and its bottom cock is below the water line. The water line

will ordinarily be near the middle of the glass tube. Always test the glass

water gauges thoroughly the first thing in the morning and at the

commencement of every shift. This is done by first opening rain cock and

then shutting the upper cock which should give water; the upper cock should

then be opened and the bottom cock closed which should give steam ;

during this test the drain cock should be kept open.

If water and steam do not appear in proper order, the cocks are

choked and the passage should be cleaned. To lessen the risk of breaking

the gauge glass, the water cock should always be re-opened after the steam

cock. Gauge glasses with a narrow white strip running the whole length of

the glass on the side next the boiler are recommended as they show the

water line more clearly specially when the water is dirty.

The boiler regulations framed by the Board require every water gauge

glass to be fitted with a guard to prevent injury to the attendants. See that

it is always in place and clean when there is steam in the boiler.

Special Note.— It does not follow that there is plenty of water in the

boiler because there is plenty of water in the gauge glass. The passages

may be choked and empty gauge glasses are sometimes mistaken for full

ones and explosions have resulted there from. Hence the importance of

keeping the gauge, cocks perfectly tight and clean and of blowing through

the test cocks frequently,

A large number of accidents have been due to inoperative water

gauges and to negligence of the attendants is not carefully reading the

water level.

The blow-off cock.—The blow-off should be used daily if the water

is at all dirty or sedimentary, especially with Locomotive type and Vertical

Boilers as their narrow water spaces are liable to get choked with mud,

which soon hardens into a solid mass. The amount of water to be blown out

depends on the size of the boiler and can be determined only from

No. 23-h ] The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. 39

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—

experience. When blowing out the best result is obtained if the water has

been at rest for some time (say before the engine is stared) thus giving the

sediment time to settle, if the feed waters cleaned merely turn the cock

round.

The scum cock.—When scum cocks are fitted, if the feed water is

dirty, a little should he blown off daily; if the water is clean, merely turn the

cock round. Before opening the scum cock, see that the water is at the

height indicated by the water level pointer; otherwise the scumming will be

ineffective. Water should be blown from the surface through the scum

cock when steam is being drawn off, i.e. when the engine or other machinery

is working.

Manhole and other door joints.—When making such joints the

jointing materials should never be of round sectioned packing. Care must

be taken that the spigot of the door is centrally placed in the hole, as many

accidents have resulted from packing being blown out between the spigot

and side of hole, even when the clearance was only 3 mm. The nuts must

be carefully and evenly tightened. Further tightening should be made during

the process of heating up the boiler when raising steam.

Steam-pipcs.—When properly arranged should give no trouble.

Frequently, however, they are so designed as to contain pickets, in which,

while out of use condensed steam accumulates. Such water is exceedingly,

dangerous and great care should he taken to see that the pipes are properly

drained before the stop-valve is opened otherwise “water hammer” will

take place even with the best designed steam pipes, and disastrous explosions

causing loss of life and property may occur.

Scale and grease.—Roughly speaking, scale offers a hundred times

as much resistance to the passage of heat as does a similar thickness of the

steel or iron. A 12 mm furnace plate covered with 2 mm scale is as efficient

a heat retarder as steel furnace 250 mm thick. Grease is about ten times

worse than scale. In a boiler at work the temperature of a clean furnace

plate is only slightly in excess of that of the water in the boiler ; but if scale

or grease is interposed between the water and the plate, the latter acquires

a temperature more nearly approximately that of the flame with which it is

in contact. If the fire is fierce (artificial drought) the furnace tube may

grow so hot that it elongates considerably. If in addition, cold air is admitted

during each firing, a concerting action of the furnace takes place, which is

one of the worst causes of boiler wear and tear.

40 The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. [No. 23-h

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Wear and Tear can be reduced and the life of a boiler prolonged if

scale and grease are prevented from accumulating in a boiler. The combined

effects of scale or grease and artificial draught are disastrous. Scale or

grease also causes waste of fuel.

Grease.—A mixture of sedimentary water, soda and grease produces

an adhesive scum, where this is suspected the water level should never be

lowered below the furnace top unless the boiler is afterwards entered and

this scum cleaned off the furnace plate before the firing again.

Scale removal.—The customary method is not a satisfactory one.

The boiler is emptied and then cooled down by opening all the manholes,

and the result is that the scale which would otherwise be soft, hardens

through contact with the air and requires laborious chipping off.

A very effective, but slower method is to retain the water in the boiler

until cool and not to run it out until the men are ready to enter the boiler with

water house brushers and scrapers. The scale will then be soft and easily

removable.

If time is a consideration, the cooling can be accelerated by adding

cold feed to the hot water in the boiler and slowly running off the cold

water. Another method is to blow off the boiler with the lowest possible

pressure (not more than 1 Kilogram per sq. cm.) and to keep it closed until

cold. The scale will then be easily removed.

Treatment of feed water.—Many feed waters require soda or other

chemicals to arrest corrosion or to change the nature of the scale.

There is no harmless chemical which will remove scale or sediment

when it has once got into the boiler and the only effective process is to

purify the feed water before it enters the boiler. By this means, the sediment,

and generally too, the added chemical, can be deposited in tanks or in filters,

and therefore never goes into the boiler, excepting when the water obtainable

is very good, water-purifying apparatus ought to pay any boiler-owners,

particularly at those works where three or more boilers are in constant

work. Boiler owners wishing to have definite advice as to the best treatment

of their feed water should have it analyzed at some chemical laboratory

and ascertain the best treatment in the particular circumstances.

Special attention is drawn to the not in frequent but very bad practice

of allowing the waste steam from the Engine Cylinders or Pumps to be

No. 23-h ] The J&K Official Gazette, 8th Sept., 2021/17th Bhad., 1943. 41

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—

drained into the Boiler Fed Water Tanks. The waste steam from cylinders

is always mixed with a certain amount of oily matter which will be deposited

in the feed water tanks and ultimately be pumped into the boiler, with possible

disastrous results, as it will be obvious to every careful boiler attendant that

should the oil be deposited on the furnace crowns, they may become

overheated and collapse.

It should be the first care of the boiler-owner, and the Boiler Attendant

to see that the feed water is kept as pure as possible. Impure feed water

means additional expense on the upkeep of the boiler.

Preservation of boilers when not in use.—Steam boilers when

not in use are liable to deterioration from corrosion and unless well cared

for and made rust-proof they may depreciate more rapidly than when in

use. They should be thoroughly drained and thoroughly dried and all valves,

cocks and openings closed so as to exclude moisture. Another plan is to fill

the boiler with water to which about 1/100 per cent caustic soda has been

added.

Special instructions for Boiler.—Boiler should be opened up and

thoroughly cleaned after a period of work which should not exceed (as

indicated in certificate). A record of such clearings should be maintained

and produced, when required by the Inspector.
