Note. - "Endorsement" means the endorsement of an ordinary (steam) certificate to the effect that the holder is qualified to act as first or second class engineer, as the case may be, on board a motor vessel, or vice versa.

No part of the fee will be returned to a candidate who takes the examination or any part of it, or is credited with full exemption or any part of it, or is credited with full exemption from Part A.

53. Enquiry Fee.- A person enquiring as to his eligibility for examination will be required to pay the prescribed fee before any step is taken to enquire into his service or to test his qualifications, etc.
54. Issue of Certificates.- When the candidate has successfully completed all parts of his examination, he will receive a form authorising the Principal Officer of the Mercantile Marine Department to whom it is addressed to issue the certificate. Certificates of competency, or certificates of service, or certificates of competency granted by other Governments but declared to have the same force as those granted under the Act, of a lower grade, will not be returned to successful candidates. Other candidates will receive a record of their examination results on form Exn. 45. This form must be produced to the Examiner when a candidate next presents himself for examination.
55. Service found to be insufficient.- If, after a candidate has passed the examination, it is discovered on further investigation that his services are insufficient to entitle him to receive a certificate, the certificate will not be granted until the candidate has performed the amount of service on which he was deficient, and has been re-examined, unless the Central Government sees fit to dispense with the re-examination.
56. Copy of lost certificate.- An applicant for a certificated copy of a lost certificate of competency should fill in a form of application (Exn. 23) giving the necessary particulars, and delivering it to the Principal Officer of the Mercantile Marine Department who issued the certificate, paying at the same time the appropriate fee (Rs. 10 for an Extra First Class or First Class Certificate and Rs. 5 for a Second Class Certificate). A declaration as to the circumstances in which the certificate was lost must be made by the applicant before the Principal Officer. A fee of Re. 1 only is chargeable if the applicant can prove that the certificate was lost through shipwreck of fire.
57. Re-examination.- Ordinarily, a candidate may present himself for re-examination at any time after one month has elapsed since his previous attempt, but if he fails three times in Part A or three times in Part B within any period of three months, he will be debarred from re-examination for a period, depending on the circumstances, of up to three months or in exceptional cases, up to six months.
58. Penalties for failure in examinations.- It is evident that ignorance of those subjects which form a vital part of a marine engineer's daily work (e.g., questions on manipulation and reading of the water-gauge, the danger of fire and explosion in steam and motor vessels, etc.) can easily cause acts or omissions which would seriously endanger a ship. In particular, candidates should be very familiar with the water-gauge (See Appendix H). A failure in one of these subjects, either in the Engineering Knowledge paper or the oral test in Part B of the examination, will be regarded as failure in practical knowledge, and any candidate so failing will not be allowed to present himself for re-examination until he can produce proofs of further service at sea in a qualifying capacity. The period of the further service which will be required will be assessed in each individual case by the Chief Examiner but will not exceed six months.
59. Should a candidate fail through ignorance of fundamental principles, or on account of general defectiveness in the examination, he shall not be allowed present himself for re-examination until a period of time to be fixed by the Chief Examiner has elapsed. Such period will not usually exceed three months, but in the case of a subsequent failure on account of general defectiveness the penalty may, in exceptional circumstances, be increased to a maximum of six months.

Reading The Water-Gauge

Notwithstanding that the reading of the water-gauge is made a special feature in the examination of engineers many boiler casualties result from the Engineer of the watch either not understanding the construction of the water-gauge fittings or not satisfying himself by actual trial that the cocks, pipes, etc., are clear.

Unless a candidate under examination is able to prove that he understands how to verify the indications of the water-gauge, he will not be passed in practical knowledge. Failure in practical knowledge involves a candidate going to sea for further experience before re-examination.

The sketches, Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, Plate I, represent the usual methods of attaching water-gauge mountings to marine boilers, the smoke boxes being omitted, for convenience, from Figures 3, 4 and 5. The important features in each gauge and the method of verifying its indications are dealt with separately in the following notes.

Figure 1

FIGURE 2

Fig. 6

Referring To Figure 1 Only

In this case the water-gauge cocks are attached direct to the boiler, and the accuracy of the gauge when the boiler is under steam can be tested as follows :

First : Let B remain open, then close cock D and open cock E, and if steam issues it proves that cock B and the passage through the top fitting and gauge glass are clear. If no steam or water issues, either cock B or the passage through the top fitting and gauge glass is choked and the gauge cannot act properly until the obstruction is removed.

Second : Close cock B and open D and E, and if water issues, cock D is clear. If no water or steam issues, either cock D or the passage from the boiler through the lower fitting is choked and must be cleared before the gauge can act properly.

Referring To Figure 2 Only

In this case the gauge cocks are attached to a bent pipe of comparatively large diameter (at least 3 inches in the bore), the upper end of which communicates with the steam space, and the lower end with the water space of the boiler. Owing to the bore of the pipe being large, it is not likely to become choked or stopped under the ordinary conditions of working. The water-gauge is, therefore, in practically the same condition as if it were attached direct to the boiler, as in Figure 1. This gauge, when at work, is tested in precisely the same manner as the one shown in Figure 1.

Screw plugs are inserted at P.P. and Q.Q., by the removal of which the apertures in the pipe can be cleared if necessary by the insertion of a wire or rod when steam is down.

Referring To Figure 3 Only

In this gauge there is an open communication from A to C through the column Y, and in order to "blow through the glass" it is only necessary to shut cocks D and B alternately, keeping E open. But to "blow through the water-gauge", including the pipes H and I, is necessary, after blowing through the glass as described above to shut A and C alternately, at the same time keeping B, D and E open for such time as will ensure the complete discharge of the contents of the gauge and its connections. When B, D and C are clear and A choked the steam lodging in the glass and in the pipe I leading from column Y to A becomes condensed and the water flowing through C to take its place rises in column Y and in the glass to a level above that of the water in the boiler. In other words, the gauge shows a false level. If now E be opened and water is blown out, then on E being again closed the water in the gauge will rise higher than before and be still further misleading. On the other hand, when 13, D and A are clear and C choked, the water, if any, in the glass is trapped and no longer rise and fall with the water in the boiler or with the motion of the vessel; it, however, slowly rises in the glass owing to the condensation of the steam in the upper part of the gauge until such time as E is opened when the whole of the water in the glass is blown out; and on E being closed, the glass does not show any water, notwithstanding that the water in the boiler may be at the proper level. When the test cocks T.T.T. are attached to column Y, as shown in Figure 3, they cease to be reliable when either cock A or C or the pipe in connection therewith is choked, or nearly choked; hence it is desirable that such test cocks should be fitted direct to the boiler and not to the column as shown.

Referring To Figure 4 Only

Sometimes the water-gauge fittings are arranged as shown in Figures 4 and 5, with no passage up the column, the central portion (N) of the column being simply a pillar or connecting piece of any convenient section between the upper and lower portion to which the cocks B and D are attached.

By this arrangement double communications are obviated and there is no need for what is known as "double shut off" in testing the accuracy of the gauge. When, however, the gauges are constructed in this manner, the cocks B and D are unreliable as test cocks in the event of there being no glass in the gauge. This feature should be carefully noted. Moreover, when in working condition the reduction of pressure in the glass which arises when E is opened causes the water in pipe H to rise above its normal level. This objectionable feature should also he noted.

Referring To Figure 5 Only

Sometimes there is a bend, L, in the steam pipe I leading from cock A to cock B. This has occasionally escaped observation when new boilers have been fitted on board ship. In most cases this bend arises from the pipe being led in an abnormal direction to escape other pipes, beams or fittings near the smoke-box. With such a bend the condensed steam collects in the pipe and falls to the bottom of the bend, and in time it completely fills the pipe from J to K. The steam from K down to the level of the water in the glass is thereby trapped and, as condensation proceeds, leads to a reduction of pressure in the pipe below that of the boiler and an equivalent rise of the water in the bend and also in the gauge glass. When the vessel is quiescent the water in the gauge glass increases in height until cock E is opened or until the pressure in the boiler is so much in excess of that in the lower part of pipe I as to cause the water in the bend to be blown into the gauge glass. In either case instantaneous change of water level in the glass ensues.

In the ordinary course of working, the phenomenon described above is more or less modified by the presence of air in the upper part of the gauge and by the rise and fall of the water in the boiler and gauge glass arising from the rolling or pitching motions of the vessel.

Other Special Points To Be Noted

When cocks A and C are omitted, as in Figure 2, this is owing to the bore of the stand pipe being sufficiently large to enable it to be regarded as part of the boiler. Such pipes require, however, to be examined and cleared at intervals by passing a rod through the holes provided for the purpose at P.P. and Q.Q.

Cocks at A and C are not necessary for the testing of gauges arranged as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Candidates, however, should be fully aware of the impossibility of testing the reliability of the indications of water-gauges arranged as in Figure 3 when the cocks A and C are absent, and of the effect which the choking of cock A or C, or pipe H or I, has on the indications of the test cocks T.T.T. when attached to column Y.

Many ships afloat are fitted with water-gauges as shown in Figures 3 and 4, and it is, therefore, specially important that engineer candidates should thoroughly understand their construction, the principle on which they act, and the steps which must be taken to keep them in an efficient condition.

When fitting a gauge glass into its place, it is specially important that it should not be placed so high as to prevent a clearing rod being inserted at G, Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This defect, especially if it occurs in a water-gauge attached to a boiler subject to priming permits a rapid accumulation of scum around the top of the glass and results in the choking of the orifice leading from cock B to the gauge glass in each of the figures.

When a gauge glass is too short, or is placed either too high or too low in the fittings, it is also liable to become choked by the packing material being forced over its ends by the glands whilst being screwed up.

The use of unsuitable or insecure internal pipes in connection either with the ordinary glass gauge cocks of the description shown in Figure 1, or with test cocks which are jointed to the boiler itself, should also be carefully guarded against.

Boiler casualties have resulted from the cocks B and D having the parts wrongly placed as shown in Figure 6, Plate II. In one case of that kind, which forms the subject of Report No. 208 under the U.K. Boiler Explosions Acts, the engineer in testing the water-gauge omitted to see that the passages in the cocks B and D were clear when the handles were in their proper working position. This defect could easily have been discovered if proper attention had been paid to the condition of the cocks. A defect of this nature may be due to faulty construction originally, or to the handle of the cock having been over strained, and the neck twisted. Whether the passages in the plugs are fair and clear can, however, he verified in a few minutes. As an illustration, the water cock D, Figure 6, Plate 11, can be verified by blowing through E with B shut and then moving the handle of D to one side until it is just closed, and then to the other side until it is again just closed; the proper working position of the handle is about equally distant from each of the above positions. The other cocks can be verified in the same manner.

Another serious casualty occurred through the handle of the cock A, Figure 3, having been twisted from its original position relatively to the orifice of the cock, resulting in the cock being shut when apparently open.

When a water-gauge that is clear in all its parts, has been thoroughly blown through, the water in the glass rises above the level at which it formerly stood, immediately the drain cock E is closed, but if left undisturbed for a time it gradually falls to its former position. The amount of rise which occurs on these occasions depends chiefly on the temperature of the contents of the boiler and on the length of the pipes by which column Y is connected top and bottom to the boiler, but in cases were the gauge is of the description illustrated in Figures 3, 4 and 5, it amounts in high pressure boilers to about 4 inches, while the time occupied by the water in returning to its former level ranges from 30 to 40 minutes. The cause of this rise is twofold, namely, (a) the displacement of the comparatively cold water in the pipe H by hotter and proportionately lighter water from the boiler and (b) a slight condensation of the steam and a corresponding fractional reduction of pressure in pipe I. The cause of the gradual subsidence of the water in the glass to its former level is also of a dual character, namely, (a) the cooling of the water in pipe H, and (b) the dimunition in the condensation of steam in pipe I owing to the collection therein of air released from the steam condensed.

These results will, however, be somewhat modified if the water in the boiler is of higher density than in Pipe H, and this will nearly always be the case owing to the condensation of the steam in the glass and upper fittings of the watergauge, causing the water in the lower part to be fresher than that in the boiler.

Candidates should understand the necessity for periodically blowing through the water-gauge on each boiler (no matter what the form may be) in a systematic and thorough manner, and in cases where a boiler is fitted with two water-gauges, of keeping both in constant use; finally, they should realise the necessity for keeping the water-gauges well-lighted, clean, and in all respects efficient.
