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.

What creates steam?

Steam is created when water is heated to its boiling point, causing it to evaporate into a gaseous state. This can happen in various ways, such as boiling water on a stove or heating water in a boiler.


How does a low pressure boiler work?

A low-pressure boiler works by generating steam at a pressure lower than 15 psi (pounds per square inch). Water is heated in the boiler and turns into steam, which is then used for various applications such as heating or powering machinery. Low-pressure boilers are commonly used in buildings for heating systems and hot water supply.


Can distilled water can be used in boilers of nuclear power plant to obtain steam?

Yes Distilled water can be used in nuclear power plants to obtain steam. This steam after spinning the turbines (to turn electric generators for electricity generation) is condensed in a closed circuit and returned back as water to be heated up again and turned to steam.


What is a closed metal container containing hot water or steam?

A closed metal container containing hot water or steam is typically called a boiler. Boilers are used to generate heating or process steam for various industrial or residential applications. They operate by heating water to produce steam, which is then circulated for heating or mechanical power.

Why are steam boilers used in applications requiring a large heating capacity?

A steam boiler is used because they can create a large amount of steams with little space taken up. Steam boilers have a larger capacity while creating a larger amount of steam in the process.


What is the difference between a steam boiler and steam generator?

boiler use many type of working fluids like water, Mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid. hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...
