Even though we are in the heating season, it is an important time for good housekeeping and knowing where to find information. This article will offer boiler operators and maintenance personnel helpful information regarding their water level indicators. 

Enabling a gage glass on vital applications to become cloudy or neglected to the point that an operator is unable to determine the water level is unacceptable.

Using and maintaining the water-level instrumentation on your boiler is of vital importance for the safety of your plant personnel and the longevity of the equipment in your plant.

The consequences of a restricted water feed pipe to a primary or secondary low-water device can have devastating results.

Water gage glasses continue to be a vital instrument on power boilers that are constructed to comply with the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME’s) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
