5. FABRICATION Testing: IBR stipulates Radiography Testing or Ultrasonic Testing for critical
butt joints of pressure parts like weld seams of drums of water-tube boilers and shells of shelltype boilers. For procedure and acceptance criteria of these non-destructive tests international
codes like ASME Boiler Code are referred by the boiler manufacturers. For drum seams of
water-tube boilers and shell seams of shell-type boilers, IBR also requires test plates which are to
be destructively tested - procedure and acceptance criteria are vividly described in chapter 5 and
chapter 12 respectively. IBR requires hydraulic testing of shell-type boilers and critical boiler
components of water-tube boilers like drums to 1.5 times their maximum allowable working
pressures.
6. CERTIFICATION: For the purpose of certification IBR has given various forms for various
boiler components important forms are listed below:
Form II Certificate of Inspection during Construction
Form III Constructors Certificate of Manufacture and Test
Form IV Steel Makers Certificate of Manufacture and Results of Tests
Form XIII Qualified Boiler Welders Certificate
