4.0 out of 5 stars Great selection for fireman studying!, March 17, 2002
By 
brian rei (massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boiler Operator's Exam Preparation Guide (Hardcover)
I borrowed the book from a friend. It turned out to be such a great benefit for me that I purchased my own copy. It offers literature on real plant equipment, formulas that are used in the trade, and possible on the test. Has a boiler "language" to it. Covers thing's like safety valves, pumps, da tanks. Great book.

I recommend this book to anyone looking to pursue a deeper understand in the Steam Engineering field.

3.0 out of 5 stars below average, November 20, 2010
This review is from: Boiler Operator's Exam Preparation Guide (Hardcover)
This book is very inconsistent. If you are trying to get a class c license you should look else where. The book contains many formulas for higher classes but study another book that has more definitions in order to pass the license.
