Condensate Generated in Insulated Steam Pipes (kg/h per 100m)

Heat loss from steam pipes generates condensate which must be drained from the system

The diagram and table below can be used to indicate condensate generated due to heat loss in insulated steam pipes.

Condensate generated in insulated steam pipes

Insulated steam pipes and generated condensate - Imperial units

Condensate Load (kg/h per 100 m)
Steam Pressure (bar)	Pipe Size (mm)
Steam Pressure (bar)	50	65	80	100	125	150	200	250	300
0.7	9	10	13	16	19	24	30	36	44
2	11	13	16	20	24	29	37	46	55
4	15	18	21	28	37	42	51	63	75

35	41	50	59	74	92	110	137	172	204
42	45	59	66	83	103	124	155	193	229

1 inch = 25.4 mm

The table is based on a surrounding temperature of 20^oC and 80% insulation efficiency compared with uninsulated pipes.

At a surrounding temperature -20^oC approximately 50% condensate load should be added.
