PD 5500

PD 5500 is a British standard that sets the rules for designing and constructing shell and water-tube boilers, which are used to generate steam or hot water in industrial settings. It provides detailed technical guidance to ensure boilers are safe, reliable, and efficient. The standard covers aspects like materials, engineering design, testing, and maintenance, aiming to prevent accidents and ensure consistent performance. While it is primarily used in the UK and some other regions, PD 5500 helps manufacturers and engineers follow best practices for boiler safety and quality control.
