Does your state/jurisdiction inspect historic boilers?
 If the answer is yes I have a few questions.  What
inspections are performed? hydro? visual, safety
valve, ultrasound?........?  How often are the
inspections performed?  What is the cost of an
inspection?  Does your jurisdiction have reciprosity
agreements with others?  What formulas and safety
factors are used in determining MAWP?  What is the min
boiler size that is inspected?  Are there any
arbitrary rules in place for historic boilers?
(example: lap seams are limited to 100 psi MAX) How
often do you have to replace soft plugs, pop valves,
gauges?
