[Steam-engine] hobby boilers

[Ken Majeski]

Well you can add Wi. also. Non Code boilers can be operated here but are 
required to do UT every 5 years. At least for the time being ASME code 
boilers are exempt from the UT every 5 years BUT they can order a UT on Any 
Boiler if they see fit.

The only limitation on pressure is the calculations based on material 
thickness, Safety Factor, Barrel Dia, and Staybolt Spacing.... But we Can 
Not go over the original operating pressure no matter how good it 
calculates. We have a few lap seams operating in the 125 to 140 PSI range.
