Once the system is heated up steam condenses due to normal radiation losses to the
surrounding air. These losses depend of course on the size and length of the pipe, on the
pressure of steam and its latent heat and mainly on the type and thickness of insulation. The
equation from which a normal regulation load can be calculated is:
F x HL ( T - t )
Q =
L
Where F = Length of Pipe (ft)
HL ( T t ) = Heat loss/foot of pipe at the temperature differential between steam and air
Above Table
L = Latent heat of steam ( BTUs/Hr. )

Condensate in LBS/Hr created in steam mains 1 to 24 and pressure of 600 to 2500 PSI based
on the warm up period of 1 hour and 100 feet of pipe, and based on the above assumption is
shown in tables.
For shorter or longer heating up time, multiply by 60/m where m is the warm up time in minutes.
