B.3.6 Boiler
A boiler (BOILER) file is a special file type designed specifically for boiler
applications. A common method for identifying a thickness measurement location is
by a 3-D approach. The first dimension is Elevation, which refers to the physical
distance from the bottom to the top of the boiler. The second dimension is Tube
Number, which refers to the number of boiler tubes that need inspection. The third
dimension is the Custom Point, which refers to the actual thickness reading location at
the specified elevation on the specified tube. When these three dimensions are
combined, a single ID number is formed to precisely identify the exact location of
each thickness reading (see Table 31 on page 319).
Elevations = 10ft-, 20ft-, 45ft-. 100ft-
Start Tube = 01
End Tube = 73
Custom Points = L,C, R (left, center, right)
The resulting file would contain the following list of ID numbers:
10ft-01L
10ft-01C
10ft-01R
10ft-02L
.

10ft-73R
20ft-10L

100ft-73C
100ft-73R
(This example assumes that you have chosen to increment the custom
points first, tube number second, and elevation third. You can
choose alternate incrementing methods.)
