[Steam-engine] Ultrasound test on vertical boiler

[Richard Strobel]

Myron this is the only picture I have of the inside (flue tubes) thru the 
handhole;

The inspectors comment was "very, very bad water."

Don't understand fully what you mean by the "insides."

I can get a couple pic's thru the handhole's that'll show the mudring area.


Headed fer the Shed
Rick
PS: Does anyone make handhole bolts?  They are square headed (for the seal) 
with another square surface below for anti-torque (fits in the smaller 
square hole ~3/4")?????
