Loving the colours you captured in this one Motts, the purpley/pink and the grey/blue make the whole thing seem almost pretty!

How big are they? The look monstrous but I'm a little slow and can't tell. Could a person fit inside them? Yes, I too have been checking MANY times every day. NOW do you believe a book would sell????

The power in such big machines can make a person seem so small.

The pipe size depends on the volume of steam needed to spin the turbine. we rate it in pounds of steam per hour. the pipes are arched to allow for the pipe to expand as they warm up when the system is on line. as far as size goes our plant uses 60" diameter pipe I have seen 48" 36" and 72" diameter depending on need
