Interesting things afoot in Australia regarding small scale boiler codes. I just received Australian Model Engineering (AME) issues 112 (January) and 113 (March). Some group identified as RitGoG approached AMBSC about coverage of small scale boilers down towards the 35 psi, 1 liter, 2 inch diameter AMBSC exclusion zone that basically exceeded the pressure limit. AMBSC said not in the form submitted. So AMBSC had a meeting with an interested group of people, not RitGoG, and sent it back to RitGoG for comment. At this point, after stirring up the hornets nest, RitGoG backed out saying that it was too much work, and they just wanted to play trains. So AMBSC is left holding the nest, so to speak, and looking to get a decent representation of interests in deciding what to do about the new part of the code that they have taken on development of. So things will probably get interesting since AMBSC has to thrash this out.
