Steam piping is the piping network that carries steam for various purposes. Steam is widely used in power plants for power generation and in process plants for heating, tracing, utilities, etc. Due to very high temperatures and pressure, designing steam piping is always considered critical and careful attention must be given while designing a ...

Best Practice #1: Choose Trap Locations Carefully. Best Practice #2: Provide Proper Support and Inclined Steam Piping. Best Practice #3: Pay Attention to Drip Leg (Drain Pocket) Configuration. Best Practice #4: Properly Remove Air and Condensate at End of Steam Line.
Condensate should always be drained from the BOTTOM of the steam line in low sections of pipe and at changes in direction, such as a 90 Degree turn. Condensate from steam traps should always be returned to the TOP of condensate lines; the maximum height of rise above the steam trap to the condensate line is a function of steam pressure and the ...
Feb 21, 2021 · What is a Drip Leg in Steam Piping? Drip Legs are vertical piping pockets installed in steam piping to collect condensate. Installing drip legs in the proper location serves the purpose of a successful, water-hammer-free, system start-up.
Considerations surrounding the design and layout of condensate return pipework, including drain lines to steam traps, discharge lines from traps, common return lines and pumped return lines. Includes the effect of trap types used, the effect of different pressures and discharging condensate into flooded mains.
