What do you do when your boiler is overfilled?
Drain it to the correct level so its good
What is the function of water level indicator?
there are two water level indicators usually mounted in front of boiler to ascertain the level of water inside the boiler am explain construction and working on next page
What will the effect of the lower water level in the boiler?
Effect of low water level in the boiler is rapid increase the temperature of the metal tubes, causing a collapse or rupture.

Effect of low water level in the boiler is rapid increase the temperature of the metal tubes, causing a collapse or rupture.
What will happen when boiler steam drum level goes down?
Overheating of water wall tubes may cause crack. Boiler will damage due to boiler drum level goes down.
What happens to boiler water level when boiler is fired will it fall or rise?
Water does not expand with heat the way hydrocarbons do. Thus, from an expansion perspective, the water level will not change as the temperature increases. *To correct the answer listed above without deleting it, as I'm new here :) : Water is one of the few elements that expands in its liquid and solid states. The overall expansion is approximately 4%. There are two basic types of boilers used for hydronic heating, water and steam. The level of water in a steam boiler will drop when fired; as the liquid water becomes a gas, less liquid remains in the boiler. Any water boiler used for heating will be constantly "full" as it is essentially a sealed system. Due to the expansion of the water when heated, all liquid water heating systems use expansion tanks to account for this change in volume. correcting the answers listed above without deleting them Initially when a boiler is fired the water is heated and the steam starts to generate. During this time large amount of ebolution is taking place as the steam is trying to rise up through the water. This causes a swell in the water level and we actually sea a rise in the water level. when fired always waterlevel surges,it is seen practically
What does boiler blowdown means?
Boiler blowdown is required to prevent corrosion by removing impurities that contribute to its formation in a steam boiler and to facilitate the generation of pure steam by preventing the carryover of impurities. Why Boiler Blowdown is Required? Proper blowdown procedures are necessary to maintain the solids content of the boiler water within specific limits and to quickly eliminate contaminants if the water becomes contaminated.
How calculate actual boiler drum level?

Why do two water level indicators are provided on boiler?
The lower line indicates minimum water needed, the upper line indicates max.
At what size is a hot water heater considered a boiler?
NONE a boiler is a boiler and a water heater is a water heaterSEE ASME section IV or the NBBI
