Inspect assembled vessels or individual components, such as tubes, fittings, valves, controls, or auxiliary mechanisms, to locate any defects.
Install manholes, handholes, taps, tubes, valves, gauges, or feedwater connections in drums of water tube boilers, using hand tools.
Repair or replace defective pressure vessel parts, such as safety valves or regulators, using torches, jacks, caulking hammers, power saws, threading dies, welding equipment, or metalworking machinery.
Position, align, and secure structural parts or related assemblies to boiler frames, tanks, or vats of pressure vessels, following blueprints.
Shape or fabricate parts, such as stacks, uptakes, or chutes, to adapt pressure vessels, heat exchangers, or piping to premises, using heavy-metalworking machines such as brakes, rolls, or drill presses.
Assemble large vessels in an on-site fabrication shop before installation to ensure proper fit.
Clean pressure vessel equipment, using scrapers, wire brushes, and cleaning solvents.
Straighten or reshape bent pressure vessel plates or structure parts, using hammers, jacks, or torches.
Locate and mark reference points for columns or plates on boiler foundations, following blueprints and using straightedges, squares, transits, or measuring instruments.
Study blueprints to determine locations, relationships, or dimensions of parts.
Attach rigging and signal crane or hoist operators to lift heavy frame and plate sections or other parts into place.
Install refractory bricks or other heat-resistant materials in fireboxes of pressure vessels.
Shape seams, joints, or irregular edges of pressure vessel sections or structural parts to attain specified fit of parts, using cutting torches, hammers, files, or metalworking machines.
Bolt or arc welds pressure vessel structures and parts together, using wrenches or welding equipment.
Examine boilers, pressure vessels, tanks, or vats to locate defects, such as leaks, weak spots, or defective sections, so that they can be repaired.
