This AIS Forensic Engineering, PC analysis video is the bursting of a residential hot water boiler at operating temperature. Allegedly, the residential hot water heating boiler was asserted to have experienced a boiler explosion and allegedly during the boiler explosion the boiler was thrown forward through a wooded studded wall with subsequent rolling over a distance of less than several yards in a finished basement with fittings and piping torn away. At the forensic engineering investigators laboratory, the forensic analysis video shows here a similar boiler of make, size and model except age. For the accident report the forensic investigator brought the sample boiler up to operating temperature by a burner in the furnace and operating pressure, then the forensic investigator increased the pressure by an external pump. (no piping was attached and boiler was placed at the same distance from the masonry wall as the alleged hot water boiler) The video was documented in the accident report showing there is very-little steam
produced from this type (using HWH) of boiler explosion and there is no thrusting against the masonry wall of the hot water and fragments from the burst. The boiler did not move forward either.
