Making an emergency trigger for steam boilers

How do you guys blow up your boilers? My boilers don’t get over-pressurized at all, because they supply exact or less amount of steam required by turbines and steam engines. It’s the best safety measure you can take—always utilize all steam. Second and obvious, use appropriate-sized pipes. And, of course, you can have a pressure valve for extra safety, but I personally go w/o it.

The first and, I hope, the last time when I blew up a boiler is when I got a great idea to remove calcification off of the heated boiler :brain:
