	There's a relation with specific gravity and temperature. That MAY affect the level.

	I don't understand why this thread is in the Instrumentation section. I also do not understand why you are puzzled that the liquid level would change in a boiler assembly of any fluid. The design of the machine includes a method to measure the liquid level for a reason, it will change. If it was impossible to change the level then measuring it would be a waste of time. Additionally thermal expansion happens with all fluids. Heating a fluid to the boiling point will make it expand. Then comes the very definition of boiling a liquid. Boiling converts a liquid to a gas. So the liquid level will again change. Let's not forget that a leak could also happen. It worries me that you seem to think that the fluid level of a liquid in a boiler should be constant. __________________ "Don't disturb my circles." translation of Archimedes last words

	I don't know how long it took you to type this, but it's wasted on the OP.

	Not long. I just preferred to disparage the OP in a polite fashion. __________________ "Don't disturb my circles." translation of Archimedes last words
