Sizing pipes for superheated steam duty. Superheated steam can be considered as a dry gas and therefore carries no moisture. Consequently there is no chance of pipe erosion due to suspended water droplets, and steam velocities can be as high as 50 to 70 m/s if the pressure drop permits this.

selecting the correct size for a steam line is one of the most important items in a properly operating steam system. steam lines are designed for 200 years of operation, and the plant should not experience premature failure with a properly designed and operated steam line.
