MA oil burners test || ACTUAL QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS!!
Air Heater. correct answers . An indirect-fired appliance intended to supply heated air for
space heating and other purposes, but not intended for permanent installation.
Air pressure switch . correct answers An electrical switch designed to prove that the proper
draft has been established by the power venter or burner and allows the burner to operate. If
the power venter or burner is not performing so as to satisfy the operating requirements of the
equipment for safe performance, the switch will de-energize the burner control circuit
preventing the burner from operating.
Anti-flooding Device correct answers . A primary safety control that causes the flow of fuel
to be shut off upon a rise in fuel level or upon receiving excess fuel, and which operates
before the hazardous discharge of fuel can occur
Appliances; industrial correct answers (a) Low-Heat Industrial Appliance. An industrial
appliance such as a commercial cooking range, pressing machine boiler at any pressure, bake
oven, candy furnace, stereotype furnace, drying and curing appliance, and other process
appliances in which materials are heated or melted at temperatures (excluding flue-gas
temperatures) not exceeding 600°F (316°C).
Appliances otherwise classed as medium-heat appliances may be considered as low-heat
appliances if not larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size excluding any burner equipment
and blower compartment
(b) Medium-Heat Industrial Appliance correct answers (b) An industrial appliance such as an
annealing furnace (glass or metal), charcoal furnace, galvanizing furnace, gas producer,
commercial or industrial incinerator, and steam boiler operating at over 50 psig (345 kPa)
pressure when such appliance is larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size, and other
furnaces classified as medium-heat appliances in accordance with recognized good practice
c) High-Heat Industrial Appliance. correct answers c. An industrial appliance such as billet
and bloom furnace, blast furnace, brass melter, cupola, glass furnace, open-hearth furnace,
and ceramic kiln and vitreous enamelizing oven (ferrous metals) when such appliances are
larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size, and other furnaces classified as high-heat
appliances in accordance with recognized good practice
Application Permit/Certificate of Completion. correct answers A standard form issued for use
in all jurisdictions
throughout the Commonwealth
Approved correct answers . Unless otherwise indicated, listed or approved by a nationally
recognized testing
laboratory
Authority Having Jurisdiction. correct answers . The state fire marshal or his designee
, Boiler. correct answers . A closed vessel in which water is heated, steam is generated, steam
is superheated, or any combination thereof, by the application of heat from combustible fuels
in a self-contained or attached furnace.
Boiler, High Pressure). correct answers . A boiler for generating steam at pressures in excess
of 15 psi (103 kPa), or for heating water to a temperature in excess of 250°F (121°C) or at a
pressure in excess of 160 psi (1103 kPa).
Boiler, Hot Water Supply. correct answers A low-pressure hot water boiler having a volume
exceeding 120 gallons (454 L), or a heat input exceeding 200,000 Btu per hour (58.6 kw) or
an operating temperature exceeding 200°F (93°C) that provides hot water to be used
externally to itself.
Boiler, Low Pressure correct answers A boiler for generating steam at pressures not in excess
of 15 psig (103 kPa) or for furnishing water at a temperature not in excess of 250°F (121°C)
at pressures not in excess of 160 psig (1103 kPa).
Burner, Automatically Ignited correct answers A burner equipped so that main burner fuel
may be turned on and
ignited automatically
Burner, Manually Ignited. correct answers . A burner equipped so that main burner fuel is
turned on only by hand and ignited under supervision.
Burner, Mechanical Draft Type. correct answers A burner that includes a power-driven fan,
blower, or other mechanism as the primary means for supplying the air for combustion.
Burner, Natural Draft Type. correct answers A burner that depends primarily upon the natural
draft created in the chimney or venting system to induce the air required for combustion into
the burner.
Central Heating Appliance. correct answers stationary heating appliance comprising the
following classifications: boilers, central furnaces, floor furnaces, and wall furnaces. A floor-
mounted unit heater to be connected to a duct system is classified also as a central heating
appliance
Centralized Oil Distribution System. correct answers A system of piping through which oil is
supplied from a separate central supply tank or tanks to more than one building, mobile
home, recreational vehicle, or other structure.
Certificate of Completion correct answers A standard form issued for use in all jurisdictions
throughout the
Commonwealth.
Chimney Connector.. correct answers . The pipe that connects a fuel-burning appliance to a
chimney.
