A practical guide to reading power, water, and steam data for steam engines and boilers.

This reference gathers tables and diagrams to help compare engine performance, choose boilers, and plan expansion. It explains how horsepower is defined and how to apply that standard to real engines, with practical rules and worked examples. You’ll see how steam, water, and efficiency relate to engine size, speed, and pressure, with clear guidance for calculations and comparisons.

The book also discusses safety and materials, offering practical observations about boiler design, inspection, and the risks of uneven boiling or sudden pressure changes. It presents approaches for safer valve design and better understanding of boiler behavior under different operating conditions.
