Practical arithmetic for steam boiler work in one compact reference.

This book compiles rules and formulas that engineers can use directly in boiler calculations, not a basic math textbook. It focuses on applying arithmetic to steam-boiler design, testing, and operation, with strong emphasis on real-world, workaday computations.

This edition presents concise methods for determining stresses, safe pressures, and performance traits across common boiler forms. It covers sphere and cylinder calculations, bracing and head design, and miscellaneous applications such as bursting pressures, pipe sizing, and boiler efficiency. The text also includes data tables, charts, and practical examples drawn from years of professional boiler work.

How to assess stresses in spherical and cylindrical boiler shells
Methods for sizing braces, stays, and reinforcing rings
Rules for safe pressures, valve calculations, and boiler efficiency
Tables and practical examples to support quick, in‑the‑field calculations

Ideal for engineers, inspectors, and students preparing for boiler certificates or exams, this edition serves as a ready reference during design, inspection, or operation tasks.
