PART-C [Engineering Drawing (Paper-3)] 1
C/1. Engineering drawing preparation basic guideline

1. Assembly drawing : Assembly drawing is basically practice base preparation, hence
do your practices for all the below mention types of valves. Sprayed part list to be
assembled to prepare a complete assembly drawing of a valve. Always draw the
assembly drawing from lower to upper side. First you draw center line. From starting
draw from bottom left half and right half section parallelly. Valve parts will fit on
sequencing order. During the practice time you must refer the serial number of the part
fitting in place of assembled view. Scale ratio is most important to draw any assembly
drawing. Hence you should decide your scale ratio as per drawing sheet. It will be much
better if you try to complete your assembly drawing within a time limit (about within 2
hours) in a single attempt (no any gap of time to complete the assembly). Initially it will
take time but when you will do your practices your time will be consequently reduced .
Following are the valves drawing may ask in the examination :
1. Stop valve
2. Feed check valve
3. Rams bottom safety valve
4. Spring Loaded safety valve
5. Lever safety valve
6. Dead weight safety valve
7. Blow off cock valve
Other drawing questions may be following types:

2. Conversion of Isometric view to Orthographic view (Front, Side, Top view) &
vice versa.
3. Welding joint & Valves symbols.
4. Name of the parts of the valves & its MOC(material of construction).
5. Missing view of drawing.
6. Drawing of free hand sketch for different part of schematic diagram of boiler
steam & feed water scheme of your plant.
7. Steam pipe line drawing ( fix anchor support, drain point details, hangers)
8. Fill in the blanks type question.
9. Multiple choice question (Please refer PART-E/5).
10. Boiler mountings & fittings diagram.
Important tips :
1. It is most important that you should do your practices of assembly drawing with
accurate scale ratio (i.e your diagram must be cover inside the drawing sheet) .
2. Kindly note that all above seven valves parts name & MOC (material of
constructions) should be remember on your fingertips.
3. Kindly attempt assembly drawing question later to attempt rest of the all the
questions.
4. Practice is the best teacher in engineering drawing.
5. Isometric & Orthographic conversion will be based on question which is you
already study during your Engineering.

C/3. Boiler Mountings :

Various boiler mountings are as under:
1. Pressure gauge
2) Water Level Indicator
3) Fusible plug
4)Safety Valve
i) Lever Safety Valve
ii) Spring Loaded safety Valve
5) Steam stop valve
6) Feed check valve
7) Blow off cock
8)Manhole & mud box

1. Pressure gauge
Function:
1.To record the steam pressure at which the steam is generated in the boiler.
2. A Bordon pressure gauge in its simplest form consists of elliptical elastic tube bent into an arc of a
circle
3. This bent up tube is called as BOURDON’S tube.
4. One end of tube gauge is fixed and connected to the steam space in the boiler.
The other end is connected to a sector through a link.
2) Water Level Indicator

• The function of water level indicator is to indicate the level of water in the boiler constantly.
• It is also called water gauge.
• Normally two water level indicators are fitted at the front end of every boiler.

3) Fusible plug
• Function: To extinguish fire in the event of water level in the boiler shell falling below certain specified
limit.
• It protects fire tubes from burning when the level of the water in the water shell falls abnormally low and
the fire tube or crown plate which is normally submerged in the water, gets exposed to steam space
which may not be able to keep it cool.
• It is installed below boiler's water level.
• When the water level in the shell falls below the top of the plug, the steam cannot keep it cool and the
fusible metal melts due to over heating. Thus the copper plug drops down and is held within the gunmetal
body by the ribs. Thus the steam space gets communicated to the firebox and extinguishes the fire. Thus
damage to fire box which could burn up is avoided.
• By removing the gun metal plug and copper plug the fusible plug can be put in position again by
interposing the fusible metal usually lead or a metal alloy.
4)Safety Valve
Function : The function of safety valve is to release the excess steam when the pressure of steam inside
the boiler exceeds the rated pressure.
There are 4 types of safety valves:
i) Lever Safety Valve
The disadvantage of this valve is that it admits of being tempered with, and the effect of

a small addition to the weight is magnified considerably in its action on the value.
ii) Spring Loaded safety Valve
• For locomotives and marine engines both the lever and dead weight types are unsuitable for obvious
reasons,
and the valve must be spring loaded, as such valve is unaffected by vibration or deviation from the
vertical.
• Disadvantage : One disadvantage of this valve is that the load on the valve increases as the valve lifts,
so that pressure required just to lift the valve is less than that required to open it fully.
iii)Dead Weight Safety Valve
• It is mainly used for low pressures, low capacity, stationary boilers of the Cornish and Lancashire types.
• Merits:
1)Simplicity of design
2)Gives quite a satisfactory performance during operation.
3)It cannot be easily tempered from the pressure adjustment view.
• Demerits:
1)Unsuitable for use on any boiler where extensive vibration and movement are experienced( e.g.
locomotive and marine work).
2)It is not suitable for high pressure boilers because a large amount of weight is required to balance the
steam pressure.
iv) High steam and low water safety valve
• It serves the following purposes.
(i) The steam automatically escapes out when the level of water falls below a certain level.
(ii) It automatically discharges the excess steam when the pressure of the steam rises above a certain
pressure.
Use : It is generally used on Lancashire or Cornish boiler.
It cannot used in mobile boilers.
5) Steam stop valve
• A valve is a device that regulates the flow of a fluid (gases, fluidized solids, slurries, or liquids) by
opening,
closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.
• Function: to shut off or regulate the flow of steam from the boiler to the steam pipe or steam from the
steam

pipe to the engine.

• When the hand wheel is turned, the spindle which is screwed through the nut is raised or lowered
depending
upon the sense of rotation of wheel. The passage for flow of steam is set on opening of the valve.
6) Feed check valve
Function: The function of a feed check valve is to control the supply of water to the boiler and to prevent
the escaping of water from the boiler when the pump pressure is less or pump is stopped.
i) To allow the feed water to pass into the boiler.
ii) To prevent the back flow of water from the boiler in the event of the failure of the feed pump.
The feed check valve is fitted in the water space of the boiler slightly below the normal level of the water.
7) Blow off cock
• Function: To drain out the water from the boiler for internal cleaning, inspection, repair or other
purposes.
• It may discharge a portion of water when the boiler is in operation to blow out mud, scale or sediments,
periodically.
• It is fitted on the boiler shell directly or to a short branch pipe at the lowest part of the water space.
8) Manhole and mud box:
Manhole provides opening for cleaning, inspection and maintenance
purpose. Mud box is a collection chamber (as shown in Babcock and Wilcox boiler) for collecting the Mud.

Parts of boiler
Shell: The shell of the boiler is the main container usually of cylindrical shape which contains water and
steam.
Furnace: A furnace is another important part of the boiler. This may be a grate to burn coal or a burner to
atomize and burn liquid fuel. Suitable area and volume should be provided of efficient combustion.
Water flow path: The water flow path is the path followed of absorption of heat from hot gases and
conversion into steam. The water should be free from dissolved material in order to reduce the scaling of
the heating surface.
Gas flow path: The hot gas path either in fire tube or in water tube should be arranged in such a way that
maximum heat of hot gases should be transferred to the water for steam generation. The boiler efficiency
mainly depends upon the gas flow path.
Steam path: In most of the boiler, the steam is taken out preferable at the top of the shell to avoid water
partials being carried with the steam. To reduce the water particles carried by the steam, it mountings,
water level indicator.
Fittings: The valves and gauges which are necessary for the safety of the boiler are blow-off-cock and
fusible plug are some of the mountings.
C/4. Boiler Accessories:

Some equipment like economizer, air pre heater and super heater are attached to the boiler to improve
its overall efficiency. The economizer and air pre heater are used to extract maximum heat from the flue
gases and superheater is used to increase the temperature of steam above saturation temperature.
“The device which are used in a boiler as an integral part and help to run the boiler efficiently is
called as boiler accessories.”
Examples :
1. Super heater
2. De-super heater/Attemperator
3. Economizer
4. Air pre heater
5. Soot blower
6. Feed pump
7. ID/PA/FD fans
8. Ash removal system
9. Fuel supply system
10. Chemical dosing pump
11. Deaerator etc.

Constructions Details
Rigid Supports

Rigid Hangers
Various Rigid Hanger Arrangements

Elastic Support
Meant to absorb vertical displacement of pipes caused by thermal expansion.
Variable Spring Supports vary in their load along their travel.

VARIABLE SPRING
Variables use coiled springs to support a load and allow movement. The resistance of the coil to a load
changes during compression, which is why these devices are called "variables".
CONSTANT SPRING
Constant support hangers are principally used to support pipes and equipment subjected to vertical
movement due to thermal expansion at locations where transfer of stress to other supports or
equipment can be critical.
The maximum recommended variation according to MSS standard from the operating load is 25% for
variable spring hangers.
If the variation exceeds 25%, a constant support hanger should be used. The constant resistance to a
load is achieved by combining a spring coil with a cam which rotates about a main pivot point.
The cam is designed such that the distances from the main pivot changes to compensate for the variable
resistance during compression of the coil. The MSS standard provides for a tolerance of 6% in the
constant load through the travel range.
ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT
As the name suggest, this type of support is capable of adjustment at site to accommodate erection
tolerances of piping. Basically all type of support can be easily modified and made adjustable.
