Hyörykuorma
Hyörykuorma refers to the weight or load that a steam engine is designed to handle or is currently pulling. This term is commonly used in the context of steam locomotives and steam-powered machinery. The hyörykuorma is a critical factor in determining the operational efficiency and capabilities of a steam engine. It encompasses not only the weight of the train itself but also external factors such as gradients, track conditions, and weather.
Steam locomotives were historically rated based on their maximum hyörykuorma, which dictated the type of trains
Understanding hyörykuorma was essential for railway operations, influencing scheduling, train composition, and route planning. For steam-powered
