The traditional monitoring method usually uses an expansion indicator, especially in power plants, the expansion indicator is used to monitor the expansion of the back wall pressure vessel and the pipeline during the ignition and pressure increase process. Through the expansion indicator, the deformation of the evaporation equipment caused by improper ignition and pressure increase or poor installation and maintenance can be found in time, thereby preventing cracks and leaks caused by uneven expansion.
