Low Pressure Steam Pipes - Pressure Drops
Typical pressure drop in low pressure steam lines.
Pressure drop in low pressure steam pipes:
| Initial Steam Pressure (psig) | Typical Pressure Drop (psi per 100 ft) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.13 |
| 2 | 0.13 |
| 5 | 0.26 |
| 10 | 0.51 |
| 15 | 1 |
- 1 psi (lbf/in2) = 0.001 ksi = 144 psf = 6894.8 Pa (N/m2) = 6.895×10-3 N/mm2 = 0.06895 bar = 27.68 in H2O at 4°C/39°F = 2.307 ft H2O at 4°C/39°F = 703.1 mm H2O at 4°C/39°F = 2.036 in Hg at 0°C/32°F = 51.71 mm Hg at 0°C/32°F = 703.1 kgf/m2 = 0.06805 atm = 16 oz/in2
