Proposed Changes to the Steam Engineer and Boiler Fireman License Law
  
   

Proposed Changes:
1)
Definitions clarified and made consistent with the Seattle Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Added definitions of non-regenerative and re-generative engines. In the former, the heat is rejected to the atmosphere and not recovered.

2) Clarified that non-regenerative engines are not covered by the current law. The horse power of regenerative engines is used to determine the license grade for the downstream boilers.

3) The qualifications for Grade I, II, III license spell out that only experience as a boiler operator is deemed to satisfy the requirements of the ordinance. Three years as a boiler operator are necessary to qualify to take a boiler supervisor test.
