Copy link"High pressure-high temperature boiler" means a boiler in which water or other fluid is heated and operating at pressures exceeding 160 psig or temperatures exceeding 250degree F.
Copy link"Low pressure boiler" means a steam boiler operating at pressures not exceeding 15 psig, or a hot water heating boiler operating at pressures not exceeding 160 psig or temperatures not exceeding 250degree F.
Copy link"Pressure vessel" means a vessel in which the pressure is obtained from an external source or by the application of heat from an indirect source.
Copy link"Certificate inspection" means an inspection, the report of which is used by the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized representative to decide whether or not a certificate, as provided by RSA 157-A:9, may be issued.
