In steam systems, safety valves are typically used for boiler overpressure protection and other applications such as downstream of pressure reducing controls. Although their primary role is for safety, safety valves are also used in process operations to prevent product damage due to excess pressure.

In 1884, the ASME published "Rules for Conducting Boiler Tests." On April 13, 1909, the Power Test Committee was chartered by the Council of ASME to "revise the present testing codes of the Society relating to boilers, pumping engines, locomotives, steam engines, internal combustion engines …etc."

Steam engine, machine using steam power to perform mechanical work through the agency of heat. In a steam engine, hot steam, usually supplied by a boiler, expands under pressure, and part of the heat energy is converted into work. Learn more about steam engines in this article.

Doghouse: Nickname for the shelter placed on the tender deck of steam locomotives to house the head brakeman. Duplex-drive: A non-articulated steam locomotive with two sets of cylinders and drive wheels. Feedwater heater: In a steam locomotive, a device that pre-heats water from the tender as it is fed into the boiler to make steam.

Jul 17, 2013 · The bar-frame bogie was of standard Swindon design and the superheater was the number 3 type as used in the 'Star'. The top-feed device for introducing water into the boiler through the steam so as not to loose heat was of GWR pattern, with a series of trays to cause descent into the boiler in a fine spray. Much was made in GWR publicity of the

Steam-diesel hybrid locomotives can use steam generated from a boiler or diesel to power a piston engine. The Cristiani Compressed Steam System used a diesel engine to power a compressor to drive and recirculate steam produced by a boiler; effectively using steam as the power transmission medium, with the diesel engine being the prime mover [44]
