Note: This root cause analysis (RCA) is from real-time scenarios that happened in industries during the tenure of two or three decades ago. These articles will help you to improve your troubleshooting skills and knowledge.
Problem: 40-bars 250o C waste heat boiler Steam Drum Level Switch electrode packing leaks delayed an ammonia plant commissioning.
The workshop found it impossible to turn-out the flexible material-shaped packing.
The drawing has shown flexible material was unfamiliar and not available.
The author got the packing done thus:
The level switch electrode never leaked; thus, a very important boiler safety alarm function reliably ever.
