  If you take a few measurements I will calculate the boiler HP.
 
This is what I need.
 
the inside diameter of the tubes
 
the length of the tubes
 
 the number of tubes
 
the height of the fire box" from tube sheet to the rivets at the  base"
 
the depth of the fire box "from the door to the  back wall"
 
the size of the door opening
 
the size of the submersion tube" the well in the top of the boiler"
 
you can throw in the overall height and diameter for kicks too
 
 It would be nice for someone who knows steam to help you do a visual  and a 
hydro before you do a lot of work to the boiler. Does any one else on the  
list agree?
 
Rick's got the bug now he needs a mentor?
