Steam Engines
FSC 2820: Steam Engines
Federal Supply Class (FSC) 2820 covers steam engines used in marine and industrial applications. These NSN items support legacy and specialized steam-powered equipment.
Steam engines convert steam pressure into mechanical power for propulsion and machinery drives. They remain in service on certain vessels and installations.
Common types include reciprocating steam engines and associated assemblies. Components are built from cast iron, steel, and bronze for high-temperature service.
