Q. 45 #ossible causes lead to e%plosion boiler are
As seen today, boiler e%plosions are of t+o 0inds/
" 8ne 0ind is a failure of the pressure parts of the steam and +ater sides/
*here can be many different causes, such as failure of the safety valve,
corrosion of critical parts of the boiler, or lo+ +ater level/ Corrosion along
the edges of lap 6oints +as a common cause of early boiler e%plosions/
" *he second 0ind is a fuelair e%plosion in the furnace, +hich +ould more
 properly be termed a firebo% e%plosion/ Firebo% e%plosions in solid"fuel"
 Answer  fired boilers are rare, but firebo% e%plosions in gas or oil"fired boilers are
still a potential ha&ard/
(Source. http.en/+i0ipedia/org+i0iBoiler>e%plosion)

Ans+er should be. neither high pressure at steam drum or fuelair e!plosion in
the furnace
