Sizing Steam Pipes (lb/h)

Steam is a compressible gas where the capacity of the pipe line depends on the size of the pipes and the steam pressure. This table can be used for fast sizing of steam pipes dimensions

This table can be used for fast calculation of steam pipes. 80 ft/sec is in general a recommended steam velocity.
