The iD022096, Ip022097, and ID42209$, Hurst high pressure steam boilers were inspected externally for
compliance with Idaho Boiler Code and the adapted ASME Codes, ASME Section I, Power Boilers and
ASMI Code 1331.1, Power Piping.
I have included excerpts from the ASME Code Section I, Rules for Construction of Power Boilers and
ASME Code B 31.1, Power Piping. The excerpts are directly related to the subject of boiler external
piping, piping components, valves and the requirements for materials, design, fabrication, installation, and
testing of power piping.
The ID022096, ID022097, and ID022098, Hurst high-pressure steam boilers. have vales and piping
installed an the main steam line that does not meet the ASME Code Section I, PG 5$,3, PG58.3.2 and
ASME Code for Power Piping, 831. 1. The valves and piping including for the free-flow vent most meet
these codes to satisfy the Idaho Boiler Code.
ASME Section I Power Bolters PG -58.3 boiler External Pi in -q: The following defines the Code
Jurisdictional L�Mits at the boiler external piping systems, including general requirements,
inspection. The limits are also shown in Figs. PG58.3.1 and PG -58.3.2_ The materiels, de
installation, and testing shah be in accordance with ASME B31 ,i, Power Piping.

ASME Section i Fewer Boilers, PG -58.3.2 Two or More Boilers Common Stearn Header: When two
or more boilers are connected to a common steam header, or when a single boiler is connected to a
header having another steam sourcee.g., a turbine extraction lige}; the connection from each boiler
having a manhole opening shall be fifted with two stop valves having an ample free -blow drain between
them. The boiler external piping includes SII piping from the bailer proper up to and including the second
stop valve and the free -blow drain valve.
The 1D022096, 1D022097, and 0022098, Hurst high-pressure steam boilers, valves and piping installed
on the main steam line have not been hydrostatically tested as a completed bailer unit. This test shall be
conducted in accordance with the following requirements: The ASME Cade Section 1 PG -99 The testing
must be competed by the folder of an ASME Code Stamp symbol A, 5, or PP and witnessed by their
Authorized Inspector. Ref: PG -99.

ASME, Section l Power Bailers PG -99 Hydrostatic TestingLof the completed boiler unit shalf be
conducted inaccordance with the fallowing requirements.
After a boiler has been completed (see PG -1 Q4), it shall be subjected to pressure tests using water at not
less than ambient temperature, but in no case less tharl 70°F (200C). Where required test pressures are
specified in this paragraph, whether minimum or maximum pressures, they apply to the highest point of
the boiler system. When the bailer is completed ire the Manufacturer's shop without boiler external piping,
subsequent hydrostatic testing of the bolter external piping shall be the responsibility of any holder a valid

steam boilers. These components must be documented on the forms required by ASE Code Section i,
PG fi 09.4, PG 112.2-5.
ASME Section I Power Boilers PG -109. Note That The Res ansibili for Mechanically assembled
bolter external piping which contains no pressure boundary welds does not require stamping, and as such
may he assembled by a non- stamp holder. for documentation and hydrostatic testing of a mechanically
assembled boiler external piping must be assumed by a holder of a valid "5," "A." or "PP" stamp.
ASME Section 1 RG -112.2.5 Form P -4A Manufacturer's Data Report
for Fabricated Piping, shall be used to record all shop or field -welded bolter external piping that falls within
the scope of this Section but is not famished by the boiler Manufacturer. Form P-413, Manufacturer's Data
Report for Field -Installed Mechanically Assembled piping, shall be used to record all field -installed
mechanically assembled boiler external piping. Form P -41B shall be used only for piping that contains no
joints brazed or welded by the Meld installer.
The following excerpt is from the ,preamble of ASME Code B31.1, which details what is required under
that code. This code follows ASME Section I, as related in the paragraph below.
ASME B31.1, Power Pil2inq, 100.1.'1 This Cede prescribes requirements far the design, materials,
fabrication, erection, test, and inspection of piping systems.
Piping as used in thEs Code includes pipe, flanges, bolting, gaskets, vales, relief devices, fittings, and the
pressure containing portions of other piping components, whether manufactured in accordance with
Standards listed in Table 126.1 or specially designed. It also includes hangers, supports, and other
equipment items necessary to prevent overstressing the pressure containing components.
Riles governing piping for miscellaneous appurtenances, such as water columns, remote water level
indicators, pressure gages, gage glasses etc., are included within the scope of this Code, but the
requirements for bailer appurtenances shall be in accordance with Section I of the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code, PG -60.
Recommendations made herein are offered to correct these deficiencies and are listed below. Corrective
action should be addressed prior to the due date noted for the next inspection visit. Please indicate any
action takes on these recommendations by returning the report enclosed with this letter or by calling me
at the number listed below.
Please be advised that there are currently three outstanding recommendations requiring your action and
they are found listed below.
Based upon this visit, a report of my inspection activity is being forwarded to the governing jurisdiction.
That report is requesting that new certificates of operation be issued for the above-mentioned objects be
withheld. If there are Code Violations reported from this visit, they are noted in the recommendation
portion of this report. A certificate of operation for that equipment cannot be requested until repairs to
correct those conditions are made.

Recommendations
Priority 2
Priority 2 Recommendations are intended to correct serious/ significant exposures to the assets of the
corporation, are potentia! regulatory code violations or exposures which could cause a moderate outage
of production capability but which are not of an imminent nature, These exposures require prp177pt
response from the faeiEify management in order to provide an adequate level of protection of properly and
Production capabilities. These recommendations also incorporate your organizations management
controls regarding lass prevention and human element If management controls ars absent or not
enforced the probability of having an uncontrolled exposure is much higher.
