Proper monitoring of boiler water is essential to ensure safe and efficient operation, prevent scaling, corrosion, and carryover, and maintain compliance with marine and industrial standards. Regular analysis helps maintain the correct water chemistry and extends the service life of the boiler system.
The following parameters are typically monitored for boiler water quality as per marine engineering best practices and international guidelines:
| S NO. | TEST PARAMETERS | METHOD |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pH | APHA 4500 H+B |
| 2 | Conductivity | ASTM D1125 |
| 3 | Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) | Gravimetric Method / TDS Meter |
| 4 | Chlorides | APHA 4500-Cl |
| 5 | Phosphates | APHA 4500-P |
| 6 | Alkalinity (M & P) | APHA 2320 B |
| 7 | Dissolved Oxygen | APHA 4500-O |
Sample Volume: Approximately 500 mL is required for boiler water sampling.
