The Oil, Its Measurement and Analysis.—At the same time that the steam generating functions of theboiler are being ascertained, it is of course necessaryto weigh the fuel oil admitted to the furnace for firingpurposes and to draw frequent samples for the com-posite sample to be used in ascertaining the heat pro-ducing value of one pound of fuel. The method ofweighing the oil and drawing the oil sample has beenset forth in a previous chapter. Having determined the calorific value of onepound of fuel by methods previously described the to-tal heat put into the furnace by the fuel during thetest is computed. In former articles are to be found discussionswhich fully set forth the methods utilized in determin- &f&am Gauqc.

Here is a suggestion for the calorimeterattachment in accord with rules laid down by the Power Test Com-mittee of the A. S. M. E. ing from the oil sample its calorific value, its moisturecontent, and its gravity under standard conditionswhich are necessary to compute the total heat produc-ing value of the oil used in firing the boiler under test. The Steam Used in Atomization.—In most centralstation practice wherein fuel oil is consumed for heatgeneration, the atomization of the fuel oil is accom-plished by blowing into the furnace through the oilburner a certain quantity of steam that is being gener-ated in the boiler. To obtain the useful and economicquantity of steam generated by the boiler we should
