This new ABMA publication brings together into one, central 70+-page reference book all the information previously contained in two separate documents, updated with the latest information and consensus on the effects of various feedwater and condensate systems on boiler operation, and information on boiler water and steam testing as well as system care and maintenance. The purpose of this publication is to acquaint engineers, purchasers and operators of industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) boilers with ABMA's judgment as to the relationship between boiler water quality and boiler performance. This document is published for general guidance as a supplement to detailed operating manuals supplied by the equipment manufacturers. It should also be noted that the information presented is directed to steel boiler designs, as opposed to cast iron sectional or copper finned tube boilers. Furthermore Utility Boilers and Combined Cycle Boilers, which require extremely close control of water quality and steam purity, are not the topic of this document. This new document combines two previous ABMA Guideline documents, namely "Boiler Water Requirements and Associated Steam Purity for Commercial Boilers" (1998), and "Boiler Water Limits and Achievable Steam Purity for Watertube Boilers", (1995).
