Boiler Water and Water Gauge

............................

1511+
The management of boiler water on a steam locomotive is important for maintaining steam productions as
1512+
well as ensuring that water levels do not drop far enough to expose the firebox crown and the fusible plugs.
1513+
1514+
The Water Glass is the primary indication used by the fireman to manage boiler water levels, however as the
1515+
locomotive goes up and down grades, the water level will appear to significantly change. The amount of variation
1516+
will be determined by a number of factors, and principal amongst them are the following.
1517+
1518+
``ORTSBoilerLength`` - length of the boiler (UoM distance)
1519+
``ORTSWaterGaugeGlassHeight`` - length of the water gauge (UoM Distance)
1520+
``ORTSBoilerDiameter`` - diameter of the boiler (UoM Distance)
1521+
``ORTSBoilerCrownHeight`` - Height of boiler crown above centre line of the boiler (UoM Distance)
1522+
``ORTSBoilerCrownCoverageHeight`` - Amount of water required to cover the crown (UoM Distance)
