Core Skills & Abilities

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • Conduct pressure tests on vessels, such as boilers.

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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.
