IS 10392 : 2026 Feed Water and Boiler Water for Low and Medium Pressure Land Boilers - Specification

ICS 27.060.01

CHD 13

1 SCOPE

1.1 This standard lays down specifications for feed water and boiler water for low and medium pressure land boilers (boilers operating up to 5.9 MN/m2).

1.2 Land boilers operating at pressure higher than 5.9 MN/m2; marine boilers and locomotive boilers are not covered in this standard.

1.3 The following boilers are covered in this standard:

a) Water tube boilers with super-heaters, turbine operation having process restrictions on steam purity;

b) Water tube boilers without super-heaters, turbine operation and with no process restrictions on steam purity;

c) Fire tube boilers; and

d) Industrial coil type water tube boilers.
