ATOMIC

Conduct pressure tests on vessels, such as boilers.

ATOMIC

Study blueprints to determine locations, relationships, or dimensions of parts.

ATOMIC

Examine boilers, pressure vessels, tanks, or vats to locate defects, such as leaks, weak spots, or defective sections, so that they can be repaired.

ATOMIC

Inspect assembled vessels or individual components, such as tubes, fittings, valves, controls, or auxiliary mechanisms, to locate any defects.

ATOMIC

Lay out plate, sheet steel, or other heavy metal and locate and mark bending and cutting lines, using protractors, compasses, and drawing instruments or templates.

ATOMIC

Bell, bead with power hammers, or weld pressure vessel tube ends to ensure leakproof joints.

ATOMIC

Locate and mark reference points for columns or plates on boiler foundations, following blueprints and using straightedges, squares, transits, or measuring instruments.

ATOMIC

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.

ATOMIC

Position, align, and secure structural parts or related assemblies to boiler frames, tanks, or vats of pressure vessels, following blueprints.

ATOMIC

Clean pressure vessel equipment, using scrapers, wire brushes, and cleaning solvents.

ATOMIC

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.

ATOMIC

Attach rigging and signal crane or hoist operators to lift heavy frame and plate sections or other parts into place.

ATOMIC

Straighten or reshape bent pressure vessel plates or structure parts, using hammers, jacks, or torches.

ATOMIC

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.

ATOMIC

Bolt or arc weld pressure vessel structures and parts together, using wrenches or welding equipment.

ATOMIC

Install manholes, handholes, taps, tubes, valves, gauges, or feedwater connections in drums of water tube boilers, using hand tools.

ATOMIC

Assemble large vessels in an on-site fabrication shop prior to installation to ensure proper fit.

ATOMIC

Install refractory bricks or other heat-resistant materials in fireboxes of pressure vessels.
