    This document compares fire tube boilers and water tube boilers. Fire tube boilers have lower operating pressures of 25 bar compared to 125 bar for water tube boilers, resulting in less chance of explosion for fire tube boilers. Water tube boilers produce steam at a higher rate of 45x10^4 kg/hr versus 9x10^3 kg/hr for fire tube boilers. Water tube boilers also have lower costs and construction problems compared to fire tube boilers but require more skill for efficient operation.
