Guidelines for Safe Assessment and Operation of Yankee Dryers
A project of the Yankee Dryer Safety & Reliability Subcommittee
This publication was developed for the purpose of providing suggested guidelines to aid in the safe operation and management of Yankee dryers. It is believed that these guidelines will satisfy existing ASME Code and more jurisdictional requirements and will provide documentation of what is understood to be “good engineering and operational practice” based upon accumulated paper industry experience. These guidelines do not supersede dryer manufacturers’ operations manuals and do not purport to cover all possible applicable regulatory requirements.
Guidelines covered include:
- Inspection
- Operating & Reliability
- Maintenance and Repair
- Personnel Protection
