What are the different types of water level gauges for boiler drum? What should be done if there is a leak during operation?

Types and principles of drum level gauges; Causes of drum level gauge leakage and solutions
There are level gauges equipped with self-protecting angle valves, which automatically shut off the channels upstream and downstream in case the level gauge bursts.
What to do if the root valve can’t be closed properly: lol:lol:lol
Cut it out if it’s missing! What other options are there? Electrical contacts, two-chamber balance vessels, single-chamber balance vessels, floats, double flanges, glass plates, magnetic flip switches, two-color level gauges.
For the operation of boilers, safety comes first. The three key elements for boiler safety are the level gauge, pressure gauge, and safety valve. A complete level monitoring system requires the use of multiple detection methods; commonly, three different approaches are used in combination: dual-chamber balance level gauges, electric contact level gauges, and two-color level gauges. These three detection systems are applied simultaneously on both the left and right sides of the boiler, resulting in a total of six systems. Therefore, the probability of all six sets failing simultaneously is very low; the failure of any one set will not affect the accurate monitoring of the boiler’s liquid level, which allows for sufficient time for repairs. There’s no need for the original poster to worry.
