Working on a boiler in a Pittsburgh mill, I saw a guy skip the hydrostatic test to save time.

He said the pressure gauge looked fine, but I know a visual check isn't enough after a weld repair. Has anyone else had to push back on a crew trying to cut that corner?

Actually, the gauge itself needs testing too.

That's not just about saving time, it's about not blowing the place up. A gauge can look fine and still be way off.
