What are Boiler Mountings?  Created Boiler mountings diagram for educational purpose  ðŸ‘‰  INTRODUCTION   Boiler is a mechanical equipments that used to generate steam by heating water under high pressure and temperature.  The steam produced in a boiler is  used in industries such as power plants, sugar mills, textile industries, chemical plants, paper mill and for heating purposes. Since steam is generated at very high pressure, boiler operation involves significant safety risks. Inside a boiler, steam pressure plays a very important role. If the pressure becomes too low, the boiler will not perform efficiently. If the pressure becomes too high, it can lead to serious accidents such as boiler explosion.        Therefore, controlling and monitoring steam pressure is essential for safe boiler operation. 👉 To ensure safety, certain essential devices are fitted on the boiler. These devices are known as Boiler Mountings.  Boiler mo...
