Volumetric flow

Sizing diagram for water

Example:
Volumetric flow = 24 m3/h
p = 4 bar
24 m3/h x Factor 1,25
= 30 m3/h
choosen DN40

Steam flow

Sizing diagram for saturated steam

Upstream pressure

Downstream pressure

Example:
Steam flow = 1200 kg/h
Upstream pressure = 10bar / Downstream pressure = 8bar
1200 kg/h x Factor 1,25 = 1500 kg/h
choosen DN40

Steam flow at 25 m/s (82ft/s) steam velocity

Example:
Steam upstream pressure = 10 bar()
Steam downstream pressure = 4 bar()
Steam flow = 5000 kg/h
