While the vessel is rolling in heavy seas, the level in the boiler gauge glass remains steady, this is an indication that __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler gauge glass operation and how it indicates drum water level • Effect of a ship rolling in heavy seas on actual water level in a steam drum • Common faults/abnormal indications in boiler water level instruments

💭 Think About

• If the ship is rolling, what is the water in the steam drum actually doing, and how should a healthy gauge glass respond? • Which option describes a condition that would make the gauge glass reading less responsive to real level changes? • Which choices describe conditions that might be normal versus those that indicate a problem?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare what a properly working gauge glass should show during heavy rolling versus calm conditions • Think about what an obstruction in the connections/valves between drum and glass would do to the movement of water in the glass • Consider whether a truly steady level in rough conditions is more likely to be normal behavior or a sign something is wrong

Question 1 of 27070

While the vessel is rolling in heavy seas, the level in the boiler gauge glass remains steady, this is an indication that __________.

the water level in the steam drum is too low

there is most likely an obstruction in the lower valve

the steam drum is adequately baffled

the gauge glass is functioning normally
