Abstract

In the manufacturing industry, to support the operation of processing a product for mosquito coils, laundry soap and processed household products, a mechanical device is needed to produce steam or a steam boiler. The Steam Boiler is a Water Heater Tank type Steam Boiler, which functions to heat water by using heat from the combustion of fuel, the heat from the combustion results is then channeled into the water to produce steam (water vapor which has a high temperature). The problem that occurs is that the tube furnace is a central part because hot steam is often passed through so that it is necessary to check the thickness of the tube furnace to maintain the performance of the Steam Boiler. The purpose of the practical work is to carry out an inspection using the thickness measurement method by comparing the actual thickness with the initial thickness and the standard thickness according to ASME Section I Rules for Construction of Power Boilers Year 2010. The results obtained are initial thickness of 8.2 mm, tube furnace thickness of 4.49 mm with the results of calculating the thickness of the standard SA-192 material: 0.58 mm and SA-106 Gr.B material: 0.29 mm in accordance with the ASME Section I Rules for Construction of Power Boilers standard in 2010. Based on the results of the thickness measurement, the water heater tank steam boiler tube furnace is able to provide good performance in producing production steam needed by the manufacturing industry.
