On drum level, why we are using air to close Control valve?

Answer Posted / carl_ellis

If the valve's actuator is Air-to-Close, what state does it
fail-safe state?

Check out the article, "How to destroy a boiler - Part 1"
at this link:
http://www.nationalboard.org/index.aspx?pageID=164&ID=238

and scroll down a couple pages to the section entitled "Low
Water Conditions".

The description will provide details that help you
understand what the fail-safe state due to the loss of a
control signal on a boiler feedwater control valve should
be.

We Have Two Field bus Pressure Transmitters of Different Sensor Range (I.E One is of Lower range and Another is of Higher Range).Is same Process Line. My Question is Can i provide Saturation Limit to my field Bus Transmitter as We can provide Saturation current limit to HART Instruments. As During Low Pressure Both Working OK ,But During High Pressure, transmitter with Lower sensor range Goes to Fault mode as Beyond its Sensor Limit it can Measure, So may I provide Saturation point Some where to Suppress This Fault during High Pressure.
