What does RW-B2 mean?
RW-B2 is the Rocking Whale model designation for this compact model steam boiler.
How is hydrostatic pressure testing performed on the RW-B2 miniature steam boiler?
Hydrostatic pressure testing involves filling the brass boiler completely with ambient water (eliminating air pockets) and applying hydraulic pressure up to 1.5 to 2 times the operating pressure using a hand test pump to verify seam integrity and fittings before live steam generation.
What safety valve pressure setting and water maintenance are recommended for the B2?
The RW-B2 safety valve is calibrated to release at 2.5–3 kg/cm² (approx. 2.5–3 bar). Operators should always use distilled or demineralised water filled to 70–80% boiler capacity to prevent limescale buildup and ensure adequate steam space.
