Steam Boiler - overfill trip protection essential ?
(OP)
dear sirs,
we are buidling a new facility. our current boiler vendor at this stage has not proposed boiler overfil protection from excess level. we have a fire tube boiler.
We are recommending it based on our internal safety study.
I'd like to validate that this is normal pratice.
We believe level overfill risks water hammer and severe pipework damage - hence we should have protection...

You are aaabsolutely right in assuming damage to piping, fittings and joints through excessive water hammer. In addition, if you are using more than one boiler on the same header, insure stop and check valves are installed on the steam outlet of each boiler to prevent flooding of an unfired boiler.
