Aproximately how long should a steam system maintain pressure before cycling again?
I just replaced my cracked boiler that never could get to pressure with a new burnham 140,000 btu steam boiler. I creates pressure to 3 pounds within 40-50 minutes, but drops off to 1 pound within a minute. I checked the entire house for leaks, fixed one small leak on a valve, and all air vents work as they should. The boiler's pressure still drops off within or under a minute, is this normal or is there something im overlooking?
