Factory and industrial management . ILLUSTRATING ANCHORAGE AT BOILER-HOUSE END OF THE RECEIVER AT THE HOISTING-ENGINE STEAM PIPING FOR IXDUSTRIAL PLANTS. 8i Flanges, for live steam, should be of rolled or cast-steel, especiallyon expansion bends.

For the pressures here consid-ered, tongued-and-grooved flanges are not necessary and their usemakes it difficult to remove a section of pipe or a fitting. For piping 8-inches diameter and above, flanged fittings arerecommended. They offer less resistance to the flow of steam andwater and shorten the time and labor of erection. For live-steamwork of any size and pressure, the screw fittings necessary should beextra heavy. Bad core setting makes the standard-weight goodsunreliable. The prevailing tendency is toward the gate or straightway valvesfor all steam fitting. They offer the minimum of obstruction to theflow of steam and water, and the fact that they cannot be openedso
