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":)

I ordered a used edition of this book which was in exellent condition, but I realized that it wasn't the book I could use. So, I sent it back to Bennet Books. I give Bennet high grades for quickly reacting to my request and return of the book. Of course, I got a restocking fee, but it went well. Thanks

This book was a great disappointment in that it had virtually
no formulas, stress analysis for the serious mechanical engineer.
The multitude of questions and answeres may help someone understand the parameters of boiler operation, it will not be of help to the designer of boilers. In the latter case a book of ASME codes, stress analysis, theory of heat transfer would be of much greater value. High Pressure Boilers provides little if none of this. On the other hand the book "ASME Code Simplified"
shipped with this book is of considerable value.

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 very 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.
