Insulated Steam Pipes - Condensate Generated
Heat loss from steam pipes generates condensate which must be drained from the system - imperial units.

The condensate load calculations are based on a surrounding temperature 70 oF and 80% efficient insulation. For temperatures at 0 oF the loads should be added approximately 50%.
- 1 ft (foot) = 0.3048 m
- 1 psi (lb/in2) = 6,894.8 Pa (N/m2) = 6.895x10-2 bar
- 1 lb = 0.4536 kg
