TAPPI TIP 0416-23:2014

The purpose of this technical information paper is to itemize

and illuminate boiler operating parameters that may provide

information about a pressure part leak in the recovery boiler. Each

item is accompanied by an explanation of how and why the parameter

is indicative of a leak. This TIP is not intended to be used as a

decision making tool for any specific boiler, but is intended to

serve as part of a training guide. The items listed in this TIP,

which may be relevant to a particular boiler, should be assessed

and assembled by the operators of that boiler and may be used to

enhance their own decision making process.
