This question can't be answered. It is unclear what you mean by back pressure.

Maximum Allowable Working Pressure in a boiler is calculated using the rules for construction of high pressure boilers and construction of heating boilers in the ASME Code sections 1 and 8.

Boiler steam pressure?

What you meant by this question is uncertain. If you are asking about the definition then Boiler steam pressure is the pressure developed by a water steam boiler, else if you are asking about the Rated boiler steam pressure then it is the safe operating pressure a boiler can operate, else if you are asking about Maximum boiler steam pressure then it is the maximum pressure that a boiler can produce with out failure.

How does a back boiler work scientifically?

A boiler works by heating water in an enclosed space. The expansion of water molecules as it transforms from a liquid state into a gaseous one causes the boiler to generate a vast amount of pressure. This is generally the science behind a back boiler.

Why boiler is in vaccumed condition?

Because you forgot to open the vent when the pressure dropped below 15 psig. A boiler under vacuum will suck in its handholes and manholes, and they might start leaking when pressure is put back on them. weakened boiler parts can fail as well.


What is difference between 500MW boiler 660MW boiler?
