5 Regulation 32 - Steam boilers and boiler feed systems

  Paragraph 4

Every steam generating system which provided services essential for the safety of the ship, or which could be rendered dangerous by the failure of its feedwater supply shall be provided with not less than two separate feedwater systems from and including the feed pumps, noting that a single penetration of the steam drum is acceptable. If the design of the pump does not preclude the possibility of pressure rising above the rated value, a relief valve or other relieving arrangement shall be fitted on the pump casing or on the pipe before the first stop valve.
