Float & Probe Type Steel Water Columns & Standpipes
Steel Water Columns can be used up to 3000 PSI (200 Bar)

There are 3 purposes for Water Columns:

  • Support 1 or 2 water gage glasses

  • Float type high & low alarms

  • Probe type for alarms and low water cutout

 

Water Columns are not required on Power Boilers by ASME Boiler Code, but when specified, must be designed and manufactured to comply with Code.

​

Water Columns are considered to be a Standard Pressure Part as defined in PG-11 of the ASME Boiler Code. A code stamp or outside inspector for manufacturing is not required. Code recognized materials, qualified welding procedures by qualified personnel, and hydro testing are a must.
