A special engineer's license is for high or low pressure boilers not to exceed how many boiler horsepower?

25 horsepower
100 horsepower
50 horsepower
75 horsepower

The correct answer is: 50 horsepower

A special engineer's license is specifically designed for operators who manage boilers that have limitations on their capacity. In the context of Minnesota's regulations, this license allows individuals to operate high or low pressure boilers that do not exceed 50 boiler horsepower. This capacity regulation ensures that operators are adequately trained and that the boilers they manage remain within certain safety and operational thresholds. This limit is set to ensure that operators are competent to handle the complexities and potential hazards involved in running boilers with higher capacities. If a boiler exceeds the 50 horsepower limit, a different level of licensing would be required, as larger boilers pose increased risks and demands on the operator’s knowledge and skills. Understanding these licensing requirements helps ensure safety and compliance with state regulations.
