R.F. MacDonald Co. offers free, easy-to-use, downloadable boiler log sheets to help track daily boiler performance and ensure safe, efficient operations
Regularly recording boiler data is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect your equipment and improve performance. Issues like high stack temperatures or rising gas pressure might seem minor in isolation, but when logged consistently, they can reveal patterns that point to bigger problems—like a faulty gas regulator or poor heat transfer due to sooting.
For example, monitoring flue gas temperature is key—because even a slight increase can indicate scale buildup on the waterside or carbon buildup on the fireside.
Using a boiler log sheet helps operators make smarter, more informed decisions based on real trends—not guesswork. This not only reduces the risk of serious damage caused by untreated water or low levels but also supports greater fuel efficiency, system uptime, and safety.
With the right data in hand, you’re not just reacting—you’re proactively managing your boiler’s performance.
