On High Pressure Steam Boilers and on Boiler Explosions
A Boiler: The Explosive Potential of a Bomb - National Board of …
2009/3/1 · High pressure boiler explosions/rupture. As we all know, boilers are the real sourse of power on a BB, to drive the ship, and provide steam power to most of its functions, including the kitchens. But, other than due to combat related causes, has there ever been a boiler explosion/rupture on USN, RN, IJN, KM, RM or French BB, CA, CL, DD, or CV?

Boiler Safety
Boiler explosions can result from a number of factors. The primary reason for them is a faulty pressure relief valve. Inner corrosion of the boiler plates is another primary reason a boiler will explode or suffer a catastrophic failure. Low water levels are responsible for many instances of boiler explosion and can happen when the water falls

List of boiler explosions - Wikipedia
Boilers can certainly explode due to a build-up of pressure or mechanical failure caused by deterioration of the boiler. If your boiler or the water smells like rotten eggs, your water is brown, or the pipes are making a pinging noise, these are signs your boiler may be at risk of exploding. Boiler explosions are, unfortunately, more common

A boiler explosion is a catastrophic failure of a boiler.There are two types of boiler explosions. One type is a failure of the pressure parts of the steam and water sides. There can be many different causes, such as failure of the safety valve, corrosion of critical parts of the boiler, or low water level.

High-pressure boilers are used to heat steam above 15 psi and water pressure that does not go above 160 psig. High-pressure boiler temperatures often exceed 250 degrees Fahrenheit, making them more vulnerable to hazards than low-pressure boilers. A type III steam boiler can produce steam with a higher maximum allowable pressure; up to 350 psig.

What defines a high pressure boiler? If you are unfamiliar with boilers and the power of steam, you might expect "high pressure" to mean anything over 100 PSI. This seems reasonable, right? 100 is a big three-digit number, but did you know that a high pressure boiler is defined as having a max allowable working pressure (or MAWP) above 15 PSI?

Standard physics laws of temperature and pressure are used to measure the explosive potential of boilers and pressure vessels. New calculations show, for instance, that if liberated in a rupture, a 30-gallon hot-water tank at 90 psig (or 104.7 psia) has approximately 314,095 foot-pounds of energy to flash its water into steam at 332°F.

Whether caused by low water or poor boiler water quality, potentially dangerous steam explosions can occur when overheated pressure parts suddenly fail under high pressure. A steam explosion in a boiler house can, in seconds, produce ambient conditions of intolerable heat and reduced oxygen levels below survivable limits.
