What is the recommended steam velocity in supply mains?
Saturated steam mains are typically designed for 25 to 35 m/s, while dry superheated steam can operate safely up to 40 to 50 m/s.
Calculate saturated and superheated steam pipe diameter, steam velocity (m/s) and pressure drop based on steam mass flow rate.
