Burnham FM01FD00B manual Hydrostatic Test

“HYDROSTATIC TEST”.

B.FIELD ASSEMBLED SECTIONS - If the boiler was ordered knockdown, to be field assembled, follow the assembly procedure outlined on the following pages.

1.ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (MANUAL DRAW-

UP)

These sections are designed to be drawn together one section at a time using the Manual Draw-up Kit (Burnham P/N 102008-01 or P/N 102008-02) using ordinary hand tools.

Tools required:

(1)¾” Drive Ratchet

(1)1¼” Socket

(1)1¼” Combination or Open End Wrench

(1)Can Thread Cutting Oil or Grease

WHEN ASSEMBLING SECTIONS WITHOUT HYDRAULIC DRAW-UP EQUIPMENT, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONE SECTION BE ASSEMBLED AT A TIME. NEVER ASSEMBLE MORE THAN TWO SECTIONS AT A TIME.

Assembly Procedure (refer to Figure 5 for Exploded View of Block Assembly and Draw-up Hardware):

Step a. Place the rear section in its approximate final position, as outlined in Section I. Stand rear section up and brace in vertical position with a suitable prop. See Figure 6.

Step b. Clean the rope groove around perimeter of the rear section with a wire brush.

Step c. Open the Boiler Assembly Carton(s), marked ‘BAC’ and remove contents. Separate the items by type. There are two (2) different pre-cut lengths of the red silicone coated fiberglass rope. The combustion chamber rope is 86” long and the perimeter rope is 164” long.

Step d. Using the multi-purpose spray adhesive provided, apply the adhesive to the perimeter rope groove. Follow the directions on the can for application and tack time. GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE ADHESIVE DOES NOT COME

IN CONTACT WITH THE MACHINED NIPPLE PORTS.

Step e. While the adhesive is becoming tacky, clean the nipples ports and nipples thoroughly with a de-greasing solvent.

Step f. Locate a 164” length of silicone coated fiberglass rope and 10.3 oz. cartridge of RTV 6500 or RTV 736 Red Silicone Sealant. Starting at 3 o’clock position, push rope into groove and continue around perimeter until rope overlaps the starting point. Rope should be approximately

4” longer than required. Use a permanent black marker to mark the rope approximately 1/8” beyond point of overlap. Cut off excess with scissors or utility knife and wooden cutting block. Apply a generous bead of red sealant to both ends of cut rope, push ends together and smooth excess sealant over joint with your finger.

WARNING

Sealant must be properly applied to ALL boiler joints. Failure to properly seal the boiler joints will result in combustion gas leaks through the joint. DO NOT operate boiler with combustion gas leaks. The sealant should be applied before each section is placed on the assembly.

Step g. Use the Loctite #592 lubricant supplied to lubricate the nipples and nipple ports. Apply the lubricant to the nipples and nipple ports, then use a brush to disperse it evenly around the nipples and nipple ports. Use approximately 20 ml of lubricant per flueway [(1) 7” and (1) 3” nipple and their corresponding nipple ports - (2) in the rear section and (2) in the next adjoining section].

Step h. Drive nipples squarely into section using block of wood and hammer, or preferably, an aluminum head hammer. Burnham offers a polyethylene block for setting the nipples (part no. 8052601). Place block over entire nipple edge and hit the wood or polyethylene block with the hammer.

NOTICE

Nipples must be driven in evenly and to the proper depth to assure tight joints. Most nipple leaks are caused by tilted or cocked nipples.

DO NOT use steel/iron head hammer to drive nipples without using a wood or polyethylene block. Nipple damage may result.

Step i. A special nipple setting gauge is provided for the nipples. Gauge nipple at 90° angles to insure that it is driven to the proper depth into the nipple opening (nipple port). Cut-out in gauge must rest on nipple, with the legs of the gauge touching finished face of section, when nipple is properly driven. See Figure 7.

Step j. Apply a generous bead of RTV 6500 or RTV 736 sealant to the (4) flueway sealing grooves on rear section. Sealant should start against the rope gasket, run across the groove in one continuous bead, and end against rope gasket at the opposite side. Refer to Figure 5.
