Density Error and its Correction in Boiler Drum Level ...

Density Error and its Correctionin Boiler drum Level IndicationINTRODUCTIONB oiler steam drum water Level is one ofthe most important power plant para-meters to measure and control. If thelevel is too low, Boiler tubes will bedamaged by overheating. If the Level istoo high, the superheater tubes andthe turbine may be damaged by mois-ture or water treatment chemical car-ryover. As Boiler operating pressuresand Boiler drum wall thickness haveincreased, many boilers have becomesmaller. This reduced Boiler drum vol-ume demands even more accuratelevel variety of instruments are availableand approved by the ASME for powerboiler Level indication. However, simplyspecifying one or more of these instru-ments will not guarantee that the boil-er Level will be indicated user must thoroughly understandthe operating principles of each instru-ment, instrument installation require-ments and the Boiler difference in the water densitybetween the Level instrument and theboiler is the major source of Level purpose of this evaluation was to 1996 Yarway CorporationPresented at the InternationalSociety for Measurement andControl (ISA) Conference,October, 1995 ABSTRACTThe requirements for power Boiler Level indication are clearly stated in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code SectionI, Paragraph In addition to the direct reading gage glass, remote liquid lev
