Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boiler-Waters, Scale, Corrosion, Foaming The relative value of one boiler to another may, in many cases, be measured by its scale-forming propensity with a given water. Purify this water and all boilers come much nearer a uniform value per unit of heating-surface. This work has for its object to furnish steam-users with information regarding water, its use, and troubles arising from the use of water, and remedies that may be used or applied; the gain being more efficient generation of steam. It is due to the Railway .Master Mechanics' Association that real progress has been made in the softening of water for locomotives, along which line much work is being done, and the same line of work is now being taken up by manufacturers and industrial corporations. The author wishes to thank all who have aided him in his work; credit has been given, as far as possible, to those to whom credit is due, and he sends the book forth as a pioneer on the subject in this country, and he will be glad to receive suggestions, just criticisms, and new material looking toward a more perfect and rounded-out work in the near future.
