be sufficient therefor, nsuing the water
in such tests at temperature not ex-
cccding sixty degrees Fahrenheit; but
should such inspectors be Of the opini-
on, that said boiler by reason Of its con-
stiuc,ion or material will not safely al
low so high working pressure, they
may, for reason TO be stated specifically
in their Certificate, fix the working pres
sure of said boiler at less than three
fourtlls of said test pressure, and no low
pressure boiler hereafter made shall be
rated in its working pressure above the
aforesaid standard; ands provided that
the same rules shall be observed in re-
gard to boilers heretofore made, unless
the proportion between such boilers and
The cylenders or some other cause rem
ders it manifest that its application
would be unjust, in which cases the
inspectors may depart from these rules,
if it can be done with safety; but in no
case shall the working pressure allowed
eXceddthe hydroStatic test, and no valve
under any circumstances shall be loaded
Or so managed in any way as to subject
a boiler to a greater pressure than the
amount allowed by the inspectors, nor
shall any boiler or pipe be approved
which is made in whole or in part ofbad
material, ,or is unsafe in its form, or dan
gerous from defective workmanship,
age, use, or any other cause.
Fomh, That when the inspection in
detail is completed, and the inspectors
approve of the vessel and her equipment
throughout, they shall make and sub
scribe a certificate 10 the collector of
the district, substantially as follows:--
