scope:
This Technical Information Paper outlines a method for measuring the average rate of steam condensation of the drying cylinders that discharge into a separator tank. To perform this task at the tank (preferred method), it must be equipped with shut-off valves and a sight glass or magnetic level indicator for observing the level of condensate in the tank. An alternative method is to use the level indication present on DCS screen assuming the separator tank is equipped with a level transmitter.
