Test of boiler

I finally tested my small boiler, Bruno and Patrice gave me a hand. We test it till 10 bars, some small leak on the valves and the fittings but it is ok, the pressure gauge is graduated up to 60 psi, and the safety valve starts in this range.


After the tests, I dismounted valves and fittings and the level to clean them all, while dismounting one of the tap of the water level I break in two parts! it had already been resoldered!
Jean-Yves who was resoldering the tubes of his boiler, nicely re-brazed it for me.


Once cleaned and re-painted, it will remain me to carry out an ash-pit then this boiler will be re-tested according to the Abv procedure, and it could be used on the stands to feed small machines.
