The property of steam is the precipitants ingress through the water in to the steam cycle The steam conductivity and silica contents so called property of steam. there fore the boiler drum chlorides(cause of higher conductivity in the Super heated steam) and water PH has to be controlled to get pure Super heated Steam from boiler drum risers. Silica can cause of turbine blades erosion. Higher Conductivity cause of Chlorides which can cause of Corrosion on turbine blades. PH controlled to avoid acid attack and pitting and scales deposition.
Just like any material, it will have a pressure tolerance per square inch. For Most high pressure boilers the glass will be very small, often less than 1 square inch. This means that multipule gauges will be used together, one ontop of the other. They will be arranged in stack, collectivily known as a Boiler Gauge Glass, with each glass only showing part of the level in the drum.
On every boiler there are a number of safety devices. The safety relief valve, Low Water Fuel Cutoff. If the safety valve and the LWFC fail to do their job pressure and heat will build up in the drum of the boiler. The fusible plug acts as a last line of defense. The plug has a material that will melt at 400 degrees (usually tin) and when that melts away it creates a way for that built up pressure to escape causing a whistling sound. It's not enough to completely relieve the pressure but simply acts as a final warning for you to evacuate the building and/or area.
The steam drum separated the steam from the water and stream mixture in the boiler drum.
Purpose of the boiler drum is to collect steam from all the various tubes in a boiler, and send it to the turbine to spin the generator

Overheating of water wall tubes may cause crack. Boiler will damage due to boiler drum level goes down.
as the boiler drum is cylindrical in shape due to low stress concentration and in both end the diameter will be less.so for easy entry into the drum for a man the drum man hole is elliptical in shape.

This is due to steam seperation the silica remains in the drum water.

For softening calsium or magnecium hardness and its become slury, other effect is by used phosphate can increased the Ph value. Shakhawat
A drumless boiler is obviously a boiler without a drum. The steam is fed into a header, then into a turbine for making electricity. Quality control of the water used is of extreme importance. Since there is no water level in a drum to maintain, feedwater must be constant with no interruption of any kind. With a drum type, water feed can be interrupted for a very short time. Not so with a drumless type.
