Help: Questions regarding boiler feedwater testing
Thread Content
This post was last edited by kareale88 on 2019-3-5 at 14:37. I would like to ask fellow sailors: are there any portable analytical instruments for measuring the turbidity of boiler feed water? Is chloride testing mandatory in boiler feedwater?
There are portable options as well as online ones; it depends on which one you need. When it comes to boilers, it’s important to pay attention to the hardness of the soft water. Many factories don’t pay much attention to this aspect, and when the turbidity is high, scaling can occur severely inside the pipes

I think it’s still necessary to check the turbidity of the boiler water; after all, turbidity has a significant impact on scaling in pipes and equipment, and high turbidity can also lead to increased energy consumption over time. If you find it troublesome to take samples manually each time, you can choose an online turbidity meter for measurement. Iron ions should also be monitored, I guess.
