New York Low Pressure Boiler COF Practice

Which of the following information appears on a boiler's nameplate?

1. Operator’s name and certification

2. Cost of installation and maintenance

3. Manufacturer’s name and MAWP

4. Type of fuel used and energy efficiency rating

The correct answer is: Manufacturer’s name and MAWP

The nameplate on a boiler serves as a crucial source of standardized information that is vital for identifying the specific characteristics and operational parameters of the boiler. Key details typically found on a boiler's nameplate include the manufacturer's name, which indicates who produced the boiler, and the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP), which defines the maximum pressure at which the boiler can safely operate. This information is essential for safe operation and maintenance, as it helps operators understand the limits within which the boiler must function. The nameplate does not include the operator's name and certification, costs associated with installation or maintenance, or specifics regarding fuel type and energy efficiency rating. These details, while relevant to boiler operation and management, are typically documented elsewhere and are not part of the standardized identification information found on the nameplate.
