boiler is being blown off powerfully. After this time when the boiler
water will be show satisfactory values of chemical analysis, the boiler is
to be set in operation. the purpose of this so called Protecting Film
Operation are :
a) Build up a protecting film of magnetite on almost uniform
thickness.
b) Blowing off of finely powdered slug residual
