Boiler Drum Level Measurement

Boiler Drum Level Measurement. Measurement of boiler steam drum level using a differential pressure transmitter must take into account certain physical properties of the fluid 1 The Steam drum contains a twophase mixture of water and steam at saturation conditions 2 The densities of water and steam vary with saturation temperature or pressure 3.

The water level in the drum is measured with a pressure and temperaturecompensated level transmitter The drum level controller compares the drum level measurement to the set point and modulates the feedwater.
