This book is the Bible of High Pressure Boiler operation.,
By A Customer
This review is from: High Pressure Boilers (Paperback)
This book is an excellent study tool for learning all about High pressure Boilers. I have just finished reading a borrowed copy from a friend and recently passed the City of Chicago Stationary Engineers licience exam on the first try. This book is so valuable that I am ordering a personal copy to keep as a bible so that I can always refer to it when approached with unfamiliar boiler issues. I reccomend you do the same.

"High Pressure Boilers" Book by Steingress & Frost,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: High Pressure Boilers (Paperback)
Overall, I think that this is an excellent book... I originally purchased it to help me study for taking my Chief "A" Boilers Exam for the state of Minnesota. Just to let it be known that this is a great study guide for the "B" Boilers Exams - not the "A" Exams (for Low & High Pressure Boilers - not Turbines, but I figured that when I purchased it)... I really liked that it had "Test Quizzes" at the end of each chapter (there are 12 Chapters in the book) with one of the chapters at the end that has six practice exams. There is one thing that I didn't like about this book is that there is no "Answer Key" for the quizzes in the book so you would have to go through the chapters to find the correct answer. However, the CD-ROM provided several practice exams & it gave you the correct answers for each question (although there were a couple of questions that even with the correct answer selected, it would still mark it wrong). I took the Chief "A" Boilers Exam for the state of Minnesota in the fall of 2008 & I did very well on it:) Many of the questions on the exam I have seen in the quizzes in this book (mainly in the "Licensing Chapter" & on the CD-ROM), but this is still with the "old test" - I was told that the Minnesota Boilers Exams were going to be updated & made more difficult.
After the exam, this book makes a great reference book for boiler operations (such as changing a sightglass, starting up & shutting down a boiler, preparing a boiler for inspection, etc.). Although I really do wish that there was an "Answer Key" with it along with explanations for some of the answers, I think that it's a great book to have as a "Boiler Operator":)

theres a better book read below,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: High Pressure Boilers (Paperback)
i want to say that while this book is a very good book and certainly you will get your moneys worth and good value and it does provide lots of information..
there is a much better book.. the book i recommend is "Boiler Operator's Workbook" by R. Dean Wilson, Fourth Edition.. that book can be found here on Amazon.. it contains more detailed information and is very well written and is easily understood by every level of mechanic.. i own both books.. and i recommend the Boiler Operators Workbook.. it's better a few dollars cheaper and lots more for your money.. i got the book from a boiler training seminar and so since i didn't buy it here i cant review it on that page.. so i wanted to be sure i said something in here.. make sure you get the exact book i listed.. it's ISBN 978-0-8269-4497-9.. it is sold here in Amazon.. where i buy pretty much everything..
