The question is not specific where the leaks occured , either in welded joint or from tube surface.

Window patching is a good remedy during emergency repair, but leaks can be prevented with the following methods:

1. Determining service life of boiler tubes for preventive maintenance

2. Random ,none  distructive tube thickness determination during schedule shut down.

3.Hydro test after tubes repair.
