    The document discusses regulations for boiler feed pipes and economizers. It states that economizers must have non-return valves in the hot water return line. Reserve flues are required to bypass flue gases when no water is being fed through the economizer. Explosion doors of a horizontally hinged self-sealing type must be fitted to relieve pressure in the economizers. Alternative means of feeding the boiler other than through the economizer are also required.

    Indian Boiler Regulations

    .279

    (f) Non-Return Valves in Return Feed Line- Economiser provided with means for heating the incoming feed by mixing it with hot water from the economiser outlet must have a non-return valve in the hot water return line.

    (g) Reserve Flues- In every case a reserVe flue shall be provided for by passing the flue gases when no water is being fed to the boiler through the economiser where it is not integral" with boiler. (h) Explosion Doors- To relieve the economisers of excessive pressure accumulation due to internal explosion doors preferably of horizontally hinged 'self-sealing' type shall be fitted. (i) Hydraulic Test- All valves and mountings shell withstand satisfactorily a hydraulic test to the same pressure as will be applied to the economiser during its registration. G)"Feed Line- Alternative means of feeding the boiler other than through the economiser shall be provided. (k) Non-Return Valve- A valve shall be provided in the hot feed line between the -economiser and the boiler to prevent the discharge of steam or water from the boiler into the economiser. "FEED PIPES S20. General Feed pipes may be made of steel, cast iron or copper but cast iron pipes will not be accepted for a working pressure over 200 lbs. per sq. in. or 425F. Copper feed pipes shall be solid drawn and not exceed 8" external diameter and may be used for a working pressure not exceeding 350 lbs. or 300F. Design Pressure for Feed Piping- The design pressure shall be the maximum pressure generated in overcoming friction and other losses in the feed piping under ordinary working conditions, or the maximum pressure which can be generated by the boiler feed pumps unless special provision is made to prevent th~t pressure being communicated to the pipeline. 521. Steel Feed Pipes Steel feed pipes shall be in accordance with Chapter VIII. 522. Cast Iron Feed Pipes (a) The standard conditions for material of construction and tests for cast iron pipes shall comply with Regulations 505 to 509.
    (b) The maximum. working pressure shall be delermined by the following formula :

    W.P. where, t d

    130 (t - 6)
    d

    Eqn. (122)

    = thickness
    =

    in thirty.,.seconds of an inch. the external diameter of the pipe in inches.

    523. Copper Feed Pipes (a) The standard conditions for material of construction and tests for copper pipes shall comply with Regulation 35.
