7. Professional FAQ: Technical Terminology Explained

Q1: What is the key material standard for insertion/dam board used in propane boiler for baseboard heat?

A1: The most common are ASTM A216 WCB (carbon steel), ASTM A351 CF8M/CF3M (stainless), and advanced alloys per ASTM B564. These are chosen for their excellent corrosion and temperature resistance.

Q2: Which pressure and temperature ranges should be considered in board selection?

A2: For baseboard heat systems, operating pressures from 6 to 64 bar and temperatures from -30°C to 220°C are most frequent. High-temperature alloys (Duplex, Hastelloy) offer superior safety margins.

Q3: What ISO/ANSI inspection techniques are performed during manufacturing?

A3: Non-destructive evaluation (NDT) methods include ultrasonic (UT), radiography (RT), liquid penetrant (PT), and magnetic particle (MT) inspection, following ISO 9712/ANSI N45.2.

Q4: What is “planarity” and why is it critical to dam board design?

A4: Planarity ensures perfectly flat surfaces, minimizing flow turbulence and system pressure drops. Tolerances usually do not exceed 0.045 mm as per ISO 2768/ASME Y14.5.

Q5: Are customized geometries possible for baseboard configurations?

A5: Yes! CASITING provides boards with non-standard apertures, complex slotting, multi-zone control, and integrated sensors, per customer requirements and simulation results.
