MASTER'S REVIEW ON SMS

A complete survey means a lull internal and external examination of all parts of the boiler and accessories such as super heater, economizer, air-heater internal organs and all mountings. This examination may lead the Surveyor to require thickness gauging of plate or tubes that appear to be wasted and eventually to a lower assigned working pressure, if calculations prove this necessary.   Collision chocks, rolling stays and boiler stools are to b
