Determine Velocity of Steam in Pipes: Recommended Steam Pipe Line Velocities


STEAM CONDITION VELOCITY, FEET/SECOND (METERS/SECOND)
(25)(A)
Velocity (ft/s) = 0 to 15 psig (0 to 1,0 bar),
100 (30,5)
(V) Dry and saturated

π(d) 2 15 psig (1,0 bar),


175 (53,3)
Where: A = Nominal pipe section area = Dry and saturated and up

d = Diameter 4 200 psig (13,8 bar),


250 (76,2)
Superheated and up
V = Specific volume from steam tables
in ft3/lb (m3/kg)
Note: Specific volume changes with steam pressure and
temperature. Make sure to calculate velocities of inlet and
outlet piping of the regulator.
