Table of factor to convert pressure vessel pressure increase to steam weight increase was useful at US Naval Boiler and Turbine Laboratory in calculating catapult receiver steam quantities; it is thought that it can be applied to other type pressure vessels; number of simplifying assumptions have to be made which are not strictly true but enable estimate within error of few per cent; use of table is described.
