Page 428 - When a superheater is constructed with a tube subject to external pressure the working pressure should be ascertained by the rules given for circular furnaces, but the constants should be reduced as 30 to 47. In all cases the internal steam pipes should be so fitted that the steam in flowing to them will pass over all the plates exposed to the impact of heat or flame. Superheaters should, as regards survey, be deemed to be the most important...
