Description

This PDF, Guidelines for Rental Boilers, was developed by the American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA) to provide customers and suppliers with practical guidance for the safe, efficient, and reliable use of rental boiler equipment. It outlines recommended requirements for boiler construction and ASME certification, safety controls, emissions compliance, annual inspections, maintenance and repair records, hydrostatic testing, waterside and fireside inspections, and safety-valve servicing. It also covers proper delivery and assembly, qualified startup procedures, installation according to applicable federal, state, and local codes, and inspection requirements for trailer-mounted units. The document is intended as supplemental guidance alongside the equipment manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions.
