Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boilers, Marine and Land; Their Construction and Strength: A Handbook of Rules, Formulae, Tables, &C., Relative to Material, Scantlings, and Pressures, Safety Valves, Springs, Fittings and Mountings Etc The Handbook now offered to Engineers and others, While dealing generally with the questions concerned in the Construction and Strength of Boilers, is yet (as stated in the Preface) more especially designed to afford ready and reliable assistance to those who have to settle the scantlings and determine the suitable working pressures of Boilers. In regard to the first point, it should be noted at the outset that thin plate Scantlings, although included in the Tables, are not given with a View to their being adopted in making new Boilers. They are intended to be used, ' as approximate Scantlings only, by those who have to settle prudent Pressures for olol Boilers. In such cases, no hard and fast rule can be laid down, and a good deal must be left to the experience and judgment of the Inspector.
