Temporary sealing of a leak in boiler piping is a commonly accepted practice to mitigate immediate risks and prevent further damage while a proper, permanent repair can be scheduled. This approach allows operators to maintain system integrity and operation without placing additional stress or compromising safety. It involves using materials that can withstand the operating conditions of the boiler and provide a stopgap solution until necessary repairs are executed.

Addressing the leak in this way ensures that the boiler continues to operate safely and efficiently, adhering to regulatory and safety standards until a thorough repair can be conducted. This method is practical and widely used in the industry, as neglecting a leak or increasing operating pressure can lead to more significant safety hazards or equipment failure. In some cases, replacing the entire piping system may be warranted, but this is generally reserved for situations where the extent of corrosion or damage is too severe to be safely managed through temporary means.
