    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pressure_steam_locomotive

    Most locomotives operate with a steam pressure of 200 to 300 psi (1.38 to 2.07 MPa). [1] In the later years of steam, boiler pressures were typically 200 to 250 psi (1.38 to 1.72 MPa ). [ citation needed ] High-pressure locomotives can be considered to start at 350 psi (2.41 MPa), when special construction techniques become necessary, but some ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

    The last portion of the generator with which the gases come into contact remains the cold incoming water. The fire is positively cut off when the pressure reaches a pre-determined point, usually set at 750 psi (5.2 MPa), cold water pressure; a safety valve set at 1,200 lb (544 kg) provides added protection. The fire is automatically cut off by ...
