Why Boilers Break Down Under Pressure

A historical note analyzes a horizontal tubular boiler 60 inches by 16 feet, with eighty three 1 inch tubes and 40 716 square inches of surface. At 100 psi, the boiler bears 4 071 600 pounds of force, about 2 085 tons, equating to a granite column 10 feet square and 254 5 feet high. Comparing to draft horse effort, the force equals about 226 200 pounds, needing two teams to match the stress.
