This is the measurement of the amount of fuel the boiler will burn and is stated in either Btu/hr (100,000) or Mbh (100) (or in case of oil in Gph, 1 gallon per hour of No2 fuel oil is equal to 140,000 Btu/hr). The input is the rating you should use to size your gas piping system

Check the boiler manual to find out exactly what it should be for your boiler make and model. If the boiler pressure is below 1, that means low pressure. This could be because you've lost water from your heating system. If the pressure gauge goes above 2.75, that usually means it's too high. You may need to bleed a radiator or get an

'From and at' rating The 'from and at' rating is widely used as a datum by shell boiler manufacturers to give a boiler a rating which shows the amount of steam in kg/h which the boiler can create 'from and at 100°C',at atmospheric pressure. Each kilogram of steam would then have received 2 257 kJ of heat from the boiler.
