How do they match: Boilermakers

  • Pressure Tester

  • Bell, bead with power hammers, or weld pressure vessel tube ends to ensure leakproof joints.
  • Bolt or arc weld pressure vessel structures and parts together, using wrenches or welding equipment.
  • Clean pressure vessel equipment, using scrapers, wire brushes, and cleaning solvents.
  • Examine boilers, pressure vessels, tanks, or vats to locate defects, such as leaks, weak spots, or defective sections, so that they can be repaired.
  • Install refractory bricks or other heat-resistant materials in fireboxes of pressure vessels.
  • Position, align, and secure structural parts or related assemblies to boiler frames, tanks, or vats of pressure vessels, following blueprints.
  • Repair or replace defective pressure vessel parts, such as safety valves or regulators, using torches, jacks, caulking hammers, power saws, threading dies, welding equipment, or metalworking machinery.
  • Shape or fabricate parts, such as stacks, uptakes, or chutes, to adapt pressure vessels, heat exchangers, or piping to premises, using heavy-metalworking machines such as brakes, rolls, or drill presses.
  • Shape seams, joints, or irregular edges of pressure vessel sections or structural parts to attain specified fit of parts, using cutting torches, hammers, files, or metalworking machines.
  • Straighten or reshape bent pressure vessel plates or structure parts, using hammers, jacks, or torches.
