Preventing Caustic Gouging in Boiler Tubes Causes.

Prevention, and Maintenance Strategies Caustic gouging in boiler tubes refers to a form of localized corrosion that occurs in high-pressure boilers. Definition It is caused by the reaction between caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) and the protective oxide layer on the inner surface of the tubes. This reaction weakens the oxide layer, leading to its removal …

Prevent Boiler Tube Overheating Failures

Overheating in boiler tubes occurs when the temperature of the tubes increases beyond the recommended operating temperature for an extended period of time. This can be caused by several factors, including poor combustion, insufficient cooling, inadequate water treatment, or other operational problems. When boiler tubes overheat, their material strength can decrease, leading to deformation, cracking, and eventual …
