Last week I started a 32”ID exhaust stack damper for a 1200 hp boiler. I started out with (3) 36” x 36” x 1/4” plate and a 32” ID x 12” H x 1/4” rolled ring.
basically the damper is done, a little bit of motor bracket fabrication and the spray bomb job (minion work). With Norm's invaluable help, blades are fitted, all weld together, linkage done, drive arm mounted.

Really nice job, what fires your boiler? What work does it do? I used to work in a power plant and I heat my house and shop with a coal fired atmospheric water heater.
A 1200 hp boiler boiler, roughly 50 million BTUs (50,000 cuft/hr of natural gas or 360 gph of oil), in a manufacturing facility. This is the first of a possible 3 boilers, over the next 2-3 yrs, if the expansions goes through as planned.
I finished up the damper this morning, I will still have to make the linkage to operate the damper, but that will be done, at boiler start up. This morning I finished up the drive motor mounting plate, as far as the damper is concerned, all it really needs a minion applied paint job.
