(4) For nonstandard cast iron low pressure
			 water heating boilers the MAWP shall not exceed 30 psi.
(5) For boilers and unfired pressure vessels
			 not listed above, where the original code of construction is unknown, the
			 following formula will be used.
TS x t x E

R x FS
TS
=
Tensile Strength in psi as given in ASME
						  Code, when material cannot be identified use 55,000 for steel and 45,000 for
						  wrought iron.
t
=
thickness in inches of the thinnest part

						  When construction methods are not known welded joint efficiency will be
						  70%.
R
=
radius of largest course in inches.
FS
=
Factor of Safety, for boilers shall be a
						  minimum of 5. For boilers with a longitudinal lap seam it shall be a minimum 8.
						  Boilers with a longitudinal lap seam, unless granted a special permit, may only
						  be used at a maximum of 15 psi provided they have passed inspection. The

(a) These requirements apply to all vessels
			 contracted for construction on or after June 7, 1979.
(b) Vessels constructed before the effective
			 date of this chapter must be brought into substantial compliance with the
			 requirements of this section. Where strict compliance is impractical, the
			 assistant director may grant a temporary variance to allow a modification or a
			 permanent variance if the intent of these requirements is met.
(c) The intent of these requirements is to
			 provide for a sound, seaworthy vessel, reasonably fit for the service it is
			 intended to provide, and to ensure that the materials, scantlings, fastenings,
			 and workmanship meet this intent. Primary consideration must be given to the
			 provision of a seaworthy hull, protection against fire, means of escape in case
			 of casualty, guards and rails in hazardous places, ventilation of closed
			 spaces, and necessary facilities for passengers and crew.
