TESTING the BOILER after tube replacement !!

In this video, we demonstrate the hydraulic testing of a traction engine steam boiler using a small fire to gradually raise the pressure. This critical process ensures the safety and reliability of the steam engine boiler, verifying that it can withstand high-pressure steam before it is put to use in full operation. Key Steps Covered: Preparing the boiler for hydraulic testing with the appropriate water levels. How we use a small fire to gently increase the boiler pressure. Monitoring the pressure gauges for accuracy during the test. The importance of boiler integrity and testing methods for steam engines. How the hydraulic test helps detect any potential leaks or weaknesses in the boiler shell or fittings. This video is perfect for steam enthusiasts, engineers, and anyone interested in the inner workings of traction engines and steam power. Whether you're restoring a historical engine or just curious about how steam engines operate, this will help you understand the vital process of boiler pressure testing.
