§ 45-23-53. Fees where inspection made by chief inspector or his deputy
- The owner or user of a boiler or pressure vessel required by this chapter to be inspected by the chief inspector, of his deputy inspector, shall pay directly to the board, upon completion of inspection, fees as specified by the board in the rules and regulations.
(a) Fee schedules set by the board shall be reasonable and practical, but shall be set at a level which, in conjunction with the fees collected under Sections 45-23-41 through 45-23-45, will make this activity reasonably self-supporting. Any increase in the fees set by the board under this paragraph shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 41-3-65.
(b) A group of pressure vessels, such as the rolls of a paper machine or dryer operating as a single machine or unit, shall be considered as one (1) pressure vessel.

(d) When it is necessary to make a special trip to witness the application of a hydrostatic test, an additional fee based on the scale of fees applicable to a certificate inspection of the boiler or pressure vessel shall be charged.
