Usually Alloy steel is used, copper and brass are also used as boiler tube materials
test tube is classified in to various types namely hard test tube ,boiler test tube,20 ml test tube
it causes scale on the inter walls of the tube
The ligament is the section of metal between the holes in a tube sheet. A tube sheet is a portion of a boiler drum, or header perforated for the insertion of tubes. The tubes may be fire tubes (carries fire through water) or water tube (filled with water, surrounded by fire). That arrangement of tubes, with their retaining sheets, forms a more efficient means of transferring heat to water, and making more steam. It was also a stronger design, permitting operation at higher pressures than before.
In water a lot of impurities are present when we use such water it will produce slice formation inside the tube of boiler due to which there is slice formation takes place and heat will not transfer properly . temperature of the boiler tubes are about 1400 degree centigrade.if heat is not flow properly through tubes then tubes will melt.
The words are literal , a water tube boiler is water inside the tubes with hot gases surrounding them and a fire tube boiler are got gases within the tubes with water surrounding them.
there are two types of boilers water tube and fire tube. fire tube boilers are divided in to two categories vertical and horizontal. this according to the construction of fire tubes. it is said that vertical boilers are inefficient than horizontal boilers. The vertical boiler is small capacity, and horizontal boiler is higher capacity, well, the horizontal boiler have many types according the drums, there are single drums boiler, and double drums boiler, while, the single drums boiler have fire tube boiler and water and fire tube boiler, double drums boiler is usually water tube boiler.
the advantage is the design is complicated
In a fire tube boiler, the water surrounds a set of tubes through which the fire and the products of combustion travel (as opposed to a water tube boiler, in which the water travels through the tubes, and the fire surrounds the tubes).The HVAC Veteran
Fire tube and water tube. Steam Boiler and Water Boiler.
The difference between the two is that the Water tube boilers are safer and last much longer than the fire tube boiler. Their size is also larger and have a faster recovery time. However fire tube boilers have a low cost.

A simple vertical boiler is a type of fire-tube or water-tube boiler where the boiler barrel is oriented vertically instead of the more common horizontal orientation.
The answer is in the name. Boilers are made with a "tube - in - shell" construction, and the name implies what is in the tube. In a water tube boiler, the water circulates through the tubes, and the burner is usually under them. Most of the time, the "shell" of this style of boiler would not be watertight. A fire tube boiler has a watertight outer jacket with tubes through the center of it. The flame is shot through the tubes.
the maximum pressure and the capacity in the fire tube boiler are usually depends on the model design and specified by the manufacturers in the manufacturer manual.
The Cornish Boiler only has one fire tube compared to the Lancashire Boiler's two.
