What is Boiler?
Boiler codes define a boiler variously. A boiler is a
pressure-holding container producing steam at a pressure
of generally 2 bar and higher. There is, however, no
universal definition.

Boiler Definition as per IBR :-

Steam boilers under IBR means any closed vessel

exceeding 25 liters in capacity and 1 Kg/cm2 design or
working gauge pressure or temperature is more than
100 Deg C which is used expressively for generating
steam under pressure and includes any mounting or
other fitting attached to such vessel which is wholly or
partly under pressure when the steam is shut off.
