Class 5 Boiler Practice Exam

What does CSD-1 specifically regulate?

1. Quality control in materials

2. Inspection procedures for boilers

3. Controls for automatically fired boilers

4. Testing methods for pressure vessels

The correct answer is: Controls for automatically fired boilers

CSD-1 specifically regulates controls for automatically fired boilers. This refers to the safety and operational controls that automatically manage the firing of the boiler to ensure safe operation. CSD-1 sets forth the requirements for automatic controls that are critical for preventing unsafe conditions, such as an overpressure situation or a failure to properly ignite the fuel. The regulation encompasses various elements including the design, installation, and maintenance of control systems that monitor and manage parameters such as water level, pressure, and temperature within the boiler. These controls are essential for automated operations, minimizing human error, and enhancing the safety of the boiler system. By focusing on automatically fired boilers, CSD-1 ensures that there are systematic checks and balances in place that protect both the equipment and personnel from potential hazards associated with boiler operations.
