	What is the height between the low tapping and the high pressure side of the instrument? This should be the LRV. What is the height between the upper tapping and the low pressure side? This should be the URV. Set the low level trip point higher than the fusible plug level! __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	dear , what about the boiler static pressure, steam pressure available in the inside empty area of drum, whether it would be a negleted or should be considered??? i think it should be take in to account. __________________ SHAIKH QAMAR AZAM // INSTRUMENT ENGINEER
