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
in which the hit is around the water tube
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.
fire tube & water tube . high pressure and low pressure. low capacity and high capacity.
So that it can withstand the external pressure of the water pushing inwards to crush the furnace.
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.
Well when I hear the word "Fired" used in reference to a boiler, it is used to describe the type of fuel used to heat the boiler (to fire it) such as a "Coal fired" or "Gas fired"
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
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.
Water tube boilers are used in marine and stationary applications. A water tube boiler heats by water flowing through tubes and being heated by fire externally.
