I was responsible for maintaining a couple of buildings in my previous job.
One was a factory of 170,000 square feet, the other a 10-story building of
300,000 square feet. Both had low-pressure steam boilers. The factory boiler
operated at 10 PSI, the tall building at 5 PSI or so.
Dunno the details of the regulations in all locales, but I think that
anything under 15 PSI is considered "Low Pressure" and the operator
liscensing requirements are MUCH more lenient than for high-pressure boilers.
It takes quite a lot of study to get a liscense for the latter; my wife had
to get one when she worked for Sun Oil Company and she spent a fair amount of
time studying. The guy who held the liscense for the low pressure boilers
where I worked wasn't smart enough to EVER get a high-pressure liscense.
