What is a high-pressure boiler?
Before knowing the importance of maintaining or inspecting the boiler, one should first know what it is and how one can detect the requirement of inspection.
A high-pressure boiler is described as a condition when the generation of steam or vapor is equal to or greater than the required PSIG (i.e., 15 PSIG), when water is heated at a temperature of 250°F, and the pressure goes higher than 160 PSIG or when water is boiled for external users to the boiler itself. High-pressure boilers include miniature boilers, electric boilers, high-temperature boilers for water and other liquids.
How one can detect the requirement of boiler inspection?
Although it is necessary to inspect the boiler annually, the inspection type may differ depending upon the inspector. You also may need to check it once in 3 months to ensure that everything is going well and if not so, you can take the inspection process at hand. Here are some of the points which you can consider while checking the boiler.
• If you find any heating of boilers around you.

• If you are having any pressure vessels like hot water tanks, commercial air tanks, etc. around your location.
• If you have any refrigeration or air conditioning system around you except household refrigerator or freezers or air conditioners.
Need for professional inspectors to inspect your boiler
It is very needful to get a professional inspector to complete the boiler inspection task annually or whenever the requirement calls. This is because, like any other services, professionals render their works better than any other inexperienced individual. Here is the way how the difference occurs between the inspection procedure of a professional and any laymen not know the service.
A professional inspector adopts three continuous processes to complete the whole inspection process correctly, such as pre-inspection, inspection, and post-inspection process. In the pre-inspection process, the inspector asks the owner or the concerned user to wash the boiler thoroughly by draining the water, remove the washout plugs, inspection plugs and other man-hole or hand-hole plates from water column connection, cool down and clean the combustion chambers and furnace, remove the grates from boilers that are fired internally, determine the condition of headers, supports, furnace, boilers, and other parts thoroughly by removing brickwork insulation and many more.
After the fulfillment of the pre-inspection process, then occurs the actual task that is an inspection through professional equipment and if any problem is detected, the concerned inspector takes the required step to resolve that issue. They take all the expert care and safety aspect in mind always and thereby ensure a risk-free environment both for him and the people around the place.
In the post-inspection process, they finally check all the things carefully whether everything is done correctly or not.
