17 forum posts	I don't know if I understand correctly am I or am I not allowed to build my own steel boiler I understand about using coded plate and tube and the fact to sell a boiler it would need to be done by a coded welder I don't intend to sell my model when it's finished and it would be inspected I am a coded welder to do structural steel work but not pressure vessel. Hope this makes sense.

They may also want to see the boiler in stages throughout the build and also approve your chosen weld prep etc. And obviously if you are not building to a proven and published steel boiler design then that will need to be approved first.
