Rummor control was Re: New Bio
Not Chating with, being written a ticket by Sheriff's deputies. I used to ride the bus (mass transit) with a fellow who knew the operator and was in the area at the time. The operator was yelling that he didn't have time, and the deputy wanted him to wait, then boom. Terry Griner Columbus Ohio USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/30/02 11:51AM Mike's correct -- it was two deaths, not five. And the cause, as I understand it, was not an uninspected boiler but rather an operator who was chatting with security guards (one of whom was killed in the explosion) instead of watching his water glass. Even recently inspected boilers will explode if not handled in the proper manner. -vance-
Re: Rummor control was Re: New Bio
There is an official report which I suggest you take a look at. It was five killed. I have the report, the names of the dead, and pictures of the ruptured vessel here on my desk. Trust me, it was lack of inspection and mechanical failure of the boiler. The safety valve never played a role. The thing would have failed before MAWP was ever reached. Stays had two threads of engagement, not 4.5 as called for. Crown sheet was .087 versus original .375. Fusible plug was still in tact, indicating plenty of water. Simple mechanical failure. If you are skinny I can show you first hand what deterioration looks like in a boiler.
