1.1    The purpose of this procedure is to describe how to complete the First Inspection Report.

2    Scope

2.1        This form will be used when an object is registered with the State for the first time.  It is used for identification purposes and does not mean it is authorized to operate.

3    General

3.1      The form to be used for the first inspection is known as TDLR FORM 005BLR.

3.2      Use black or blue ink to complete the form.

4    Description

4.1        The die stamps, corrosion-resistant metal tags and the Texas Boiler Number decals are controlled by the Boiler Program, TDLR and are issued upon successful completion of the Texas Commission exam.  More metal tags and decals, in packages of fifty, are issued upon request.

4.2        The procedure for use of the Texas Boiler Number, when stamping of the boiler is allowed, applying the numbered decal or the use of the corrosion-resistant metal tag, is described in the Texas Boiler Law and Rules, ref: 65.60(c)

This formula should be used to convert kW to Sq. Ft. heating surface.

Alternating Current


Sq. Ft. = kW x 3413.0 x 3.8
           33475


This formula should be used to convert amperes/volts to kilowatts.

Direct Current
Alternating Current
Single Phase
Three Phase



____I x E____
1000



___I x E x P.F.__
1000



I x E x 1.73 x P.F.
1000


I   =  Amperes
E  =  Volts
P  =  Power Factor   (Power Factor can be obtained from each city utility company.  However, each city in Texas has a Power Factor over .95.  Therefore, a Power Factor of .95 can always be used.)

To convert kW to Btu/hr:   kW x 3.5 x 1,000 = Btu/hr
