What are the criteria for the effectiveness of boiler pipe cleaning and what constitutes acceptance?
Thread Content
Before starting up the boiler, it is necessary to purge the boiler’s piping system. I would like to ask how to check the effectiveness of this purging process, and what are the criteria for considering it successful?
Generally, steam pipelines are subject to purging and target-testing for acceptance; the scars visible on the target plate should be less than 1 mm in two consecutive tests, and there should be fewer than 3 scars per 1 cm2.
