Best Answer

The ligament is the section of metal between the holes in a tube sheet. A tube sheet is a portion of a boiler drum, or header perforated for the insertion of tubes. The tubes may be fire tubes (carries fire through water) or water tube (filled with water, surrounded by fire). That arrangement of tubes, with their retaining sheets, forms a more efficient means of transferring heat to water, and making more steam. It was also a stronger design, permitting operation at higher pressures than before.
