CLOSE ADS Ensure steam & water side valve of gauge glass are healthy & operating properly CLOSE ADS
Ensure there are no any leakages
Ensure steam side & water side valves are closed
Ensure gauge glass drain valve is open & drain is connected/extended to safe location
Now crack open the steam valve & check for any leakages in gauge glass. Wait for some
times until system heats uniformly.
Then crack open the water side valve, wait for some time for stabilization
Then close the drain valve
Open the steam valve & water valve fully
Observe water collected in glass & showing the level
Cross check the level glass with other side level glass or control room transmitter reading

Flushing of gauge glass
Ensure all tools & required PPEs are taken to operate the valves (Hand gloves, Safety goggles, “F”
rods etc)
Step-I
Close the water side valve & open the drain valve for flushing, wait for some time
Then close the drain valve & open the water side valve
Note: After opening the water side valve, water level should retain its normal operating level, if not
then there might be blockages in valve or line
Step-II
Close the steam side valve & open the drain valve for flushing, wait for some time
Then close the drain valve & open the steam side valve
