[Steam-engine] Ultrasound test on vertical boiler

[Lawrence Swanz]

Rick,

What are the formulas that the state inspector will be using to figure your boiler pressure?  If you don't know, I would ask for a copy of the formulas used, just for your own benefit.

Quick question, what were the physical dimensions for your boiler?  I can't recall, was your firebox stayed?

Lawrence
