Sampling and Physico-Chemical Monitoring of Water and Steam Cycles - Print

This Standard VGB-S-006-00-2012-09-EN is intended to supplement VGB-S-010-T-00;2011-12.EN [Standard for Feed Water, Boiler Water and Steam Quality for Power Plants / Industrial Plants (formerly VGB Standard VGB-R-450-Le) and to give recommendations for the correct positioning, design and instrumentation as well as for the maintenance of measuring equipment in the water/steam cycle.

This is the first time that comprehensive recommendations for sampling and physico-chemical monitoring of water/steam cycles have been established. Supplementary information relating to chemical monitoring can be found in other rules and standards.

This VGB standard has been established in close co-operation with power plant users, power plant manufacturers (OEMs for boilers/turbines), measuring instrument manufacturers as well as firms providing analytical services on the power plant sector. This standard represents the state-of-the-art.
