Association of Professional Copper Boiler Makers

[RRMBKParticipant @rrmbk]

I have seen a number of references to the above CoP but a search on the net has failed to come up with any documentation. Does any one have a copy or can tell me where i can obtain a copy please as I would like to fully understand it before I start on my proposed new boiler.

Many thanks

Brian

Hi can point you to one of the founder members but firstly you have not mentioned what you intend to build, what gague or scale it is in, what it is for and are you a member of a SMEE club. Building a boiler can be an extremely interesting challenge, but if is to be used it needs to be tested by an boiler inspector.
It will be interesting to hear how you are getting on with your project

Thanks Mike & Springbok. I am in regular contact with our club boiler inspector and he is inspecting progress as I go along. My personal preference is to read up on all the info I can before setting out and this documentation seemed to be probably the most relevant yet not readily available. I have seen the Australian codes and gleaned a lot from them. The present project is a small 2/12 LBSC design but I also have a stationary boiler and eventually a largeish ( Saint) 3 1/2 to do . I will hopefully do them in progression improving my skills as I go along. Hence the reason for wanting to read up on the UK Code of Practice.

Kind regards

The COP you refer to is I believe the standard to which these professionals adhere.

It is not an available published document, like the Australian Codes, which are strictly Australian use related, whereas we must follow the "blue book" issued by the Southern Federation (or Northern Federation). This is however Boiler Testing related and not a design manual.
