Boiler & Steam Instrumentation Solutions
Accurate pressure, temperature, and level measurement for industrial boilers and steam systems—built for safety, efficiency, and reliable operations.

Why Boiler Instrumentation Matters
Boilers operate under extreme pressure and temperature. Incorrect selection or poor installation can lead to unsafe operation, efficiency loss, equipment damage, and unplanned downtime.
MTC supports engineers, EPCs, and maintenance teams with application-driven instrumentation recommendations and supply—focused on what remains reliable in real plant conditions.
Critical Measurement Points
Temperature
- Steam temperature
- Superheater & economizer zones
Level
- Boiler drum level (safety-critical)
Selection Logic (How Engineers Choose)
Pressure:
Use gauges for local indication; use transmitters for control, remote indication, trends and alarms. Select the correct process connection and wetted materials for the medium and temperature.
Drum level:
Differential pressure logic is widely used due to robustness under pressure. Density variation and tapping arrangement must be considered to keep level stable.
Temperature:
RTD vs thermocouple is chosen by range, stability, response time and vibration. Thermowell selection and installation discipline strongly influence service life.
Tip: If you share operating conditions upfront, we can recommend a configuration that is safer and easier to maintain.
Recommended Configuration
Pressure & Differential Pressure Measurement
- WIKA pencil-type pressure transmitters (S-10 / S-20 / A-10 series, as applicable)
- Diaphragm seal systems where media/temperature conditions demand isolation
Protection & Interlocks
- Switzer pressure and differential pressure switches for alarms, trips and interlocks
Installation & Maintenance Readiness
- ZAKS manifolds, fittings and hook-up hardware for safe isolation, venting and calibration
Common Failures We Help Prevent
- Wrong seal selection → slow response and unstable readings
- Excessive capillary length (where used) → drift and slower response to process changes
- No isolation/venting provisions → unsafe maintenance and longer shutdowns
- Improper hook-up → leak paths, repeat failures, and calibration issues
Spec Checklist (Send With Your Email)
- Medium (steam/water/chemical), operating temperature, operating pressure
- Connection size/type, mounting constraints, required accuracy
- For drum level: tapping points, instrument mounting location, DP range
- Hazardous area requirement (if any)
