Should I get a boiler certificate?

| 79 forum posts 36 photos | Should I be seeking to get a boiler certificate for my Minnie traction engine? Is is needed given I don't intend on using it in public places? What are the advantages of having one - apart from someone independently inspecting my work? I don't have a local model engineering club I am a member of. Nearest is 30miles away... |

 6956 forum posts 229 photos | I suggest you carry out the regime of a haydraulic test and steam test with a witness and maintain records as if it were done by an 'official' tester. That way you will be seen to be acting in a responsible manner. The only missing elemint is a calibrated reference pressure gauge. |

| 84 forum posts | You should also check your household insurance details, as if the boiler does fail the insurance company will not pay out!! peter |

 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | Just had a look at my wife's new cappuccino machine. 15 bar working pressure - that's over 210psi. As the capacity must be in the region of 200-250cc these things must be very close to the 3 bar-litre limit... Neil |
