gases. The. A.G.A. Output Rating of a gas-designed boiler may be used
in determining the Net I -- B -- R Rating. The Net I = B= R Rating is determined from the Gross I = B~ R
Output by applying specified Piping and Pickup Factors which range from 2.36 to 1.40 for hand-fired boilers, and from 1.56 to 1.288 for automaticallyfired steam boilers, and from 1.333 to 1.288 for automatically-fired hot water boilers. In all cases, the factor decreases as the boiler size in creases. Table 3 is abstracted from the 1951 I=B=R Boiler Rating Tables in the code and illustrates the relationship between Net 1 = B = R
Rating and Gross I-- B=R Output. The American Gos Association rates gas-designed boilers at 80 percent
of the A.G.A. Input Rating. These ratings are determined by per formance tests described in the A.G.A. Approval Requirements for Central
Heating Appliances. The Heating, Piping and Air Conditioning Contractors National As-
sociation has adopted a method, based on their physical characteristics for
