Follow the alarm response. Review demand, fuel condition and instrument validity together. Do not infer a required air or grate change from pressure alone.
Check steam-meter and fuel-meter basis, inventory, feedwater temperature and fuel moisture before concluding that efficiency deteriorated.
Follow approved chemistry escalation and sampling procedures. Confirm sample point and instrument status; do not choose chemical dosing from an internet guide.
Compare equivalent load and fuel. Review heat-transfer condition and gas bypass indications through approved records; arrange authorized inspection.
Use the approved response. Level indication can change with pressure and steam demand; never override protections based on a calculated water balance.
For contractual tests, agree the applicable current test code, boundary, corrections and uncertainty with the responsible engineer. These tools are not certified acceptance-test software.
