Description: This book is a comprehensive guide for practical boilermakers, offering the essential knowledge needed to accurately lay out various types of boilers, tanks, stacks, and other sheet metalwork. While the book acknowledges the importance of technical knowledge, it focuses on the practical application of principles rather than theoretical explanations, making it accessible to those with experience in the shop. The author expertly guides readers through the intricacies of laying out by orthographic projection and triangulation, two fundamental methods employed in the field. The book then delves into the detailed layout of different boiler types, including tubular, locomotive, and Scotch boilers. It provides clear instructions for determining the size, shape, and strength of each component, highlighting the computation processes involved in creating a safe and functional boiler. Beyond technical instructions, the book also delves into the practical aspects of boiler construction, covering riveting, welding, and the behavior of materials under various stresses. This deep thematic understanding equips boilermakers with the knowledge to not only lay out their work accurately but also to assess the strength and integrity of their designs. This book serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to master the art of boilermaking and ensure the safe and efficient operation of steam-powered machinery.
