Q

One boiler of a two-boiler plant has ruptured a tube, and the water cannot be maintained in sight in the gauge glass. After securing the fires, your next action should be to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler casualty procedures in a multi‑boiler plant • What happens if water level is lost in one boiler but steam is still needed from the plant • The function and importance of the main steam stop valve compared with fuel, feed, and draft controls

💭 Think About

• If one boiler has a ruptured tube and water level cannot be maintained, which single action best isolates that damaged boiler from the rest of the plant? • Which items in the choices affect only combustion in that boiler, and which affect the connection of that boiler to the steam system? • In what order would you normally: secure fires, isolate steam, then deal with fuel, air, and feed, and why?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which device directly controls whether steam from that boiler can enter the main steam line. • Decide which actions are local to the boiler’s firing/feeding and which action protects the rest of the plant and the main steam system. • Verify standard casualty response priority: first remove heat source, then isolate the damaged unit from the system, then handle remaining support systems.
