They are typically threaded cylinders with a low-melting-point seal that melts when the temperature reaches a predetermined level.

Its working principle depends on the water level in the boiler shell. If the water level drops too low, the fusible plug is exposed to high temperatures, causing the seal to melt and allowing the steam or hot gases to escape.

The plug is made of a brass, bronze, or gunmetal body with a tapered hole drilled completely through its length. The hole is sealed with a slug of tin, which melts when the boiler overheats. This allows steam to escape from the boiler, which prevents it from exploding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word; color: #1f1f1f; font-family: 'Google Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Other materials that can be used for the fusible alloy in a boiler include lead, bismuth, and cadmium. These materials have melting points that are lower than tin, so they will melt at a lower temperature.
