Low Pressure Boilers

Every good teacher understands that its not the information, its the way the information is presented. Before coming across this book, I attempted to prepare for the special engineer boiler test by studying an official 350 page manual put out by the state. The MN state manual was dry, dull, incomprehensible and full of information that one didn't need for the exam. I almost gave up. Then, I came across Low Pressure Boilers by Frederick M. Steingress. He made the impenetrable seem clear and understandable and almost interesting. My fellow custodians who studied the MN state manual had to retake the test 2-5 times. I studied this Steingress book and passed on the first attempt with 84%. 70% and above is a pass. This book has key points for review after each section and a 75 point practice boiler exam and answers at the end of the book. Make use of them. I also strongly recommend the workbook.

Very good product, if u are thinking about get the stationary engineer license this is very helpful to prepare for the test!

What I needed

As a Custodian trying to get, and in part, thanks to some parts of this book, WILL GET, my Low Pressure Boiler license, I'm, as I am writing this, waiting with 99 % confidence that I successfully passed my exam.This book is a wonderful tool, it has a wealth of information and even has a CD ROM so you can take practice tests.It's a very easy to read book and while I'm not done reading this book yet, I intend to continue reading it to gather all the information that I need to know about Boilers.Highly recommended.

This book is very informative and is easy to read. it is a good companion with Steam: Its Generation and Use by Babcock and Wilcox. I would recommend this book to anybody in the Power Engineerng field.

Many diagrams and illustrations. A lot of extra content on CD including videos and quizzes for each chapter. Highly recommended for someone wanting to take a state boiler operator exam or a city stationary engineer exam. 400 pages. Very in-depth.

Purchased the book and study guide for my husband to sit for a test....now just waiting on the results. He thought that they were very helpful!

Hello,Bought this book to prepare for National Board In-Service commission.No. This book is way too basic. If you know what is boiler and how it works, you will need something more advanced.Don't get me wrong.If you need some basic knowledge - this book is REALLY the way to go!
