Synopsis:

Unlock more efficient steam piping with proven, field-tested guidance.

This book analyzes how steam moves through pipes and shows you how to choose pipe sizes that save both installation costs and operating expenses. It combines theory with practical curves and examples to help engineers design economical systems for any condition.

It covers the two key energy losses in piping—radiation and pressure drop—plus how to read and apply steam-velocity curves and pressure-dip curves. The author also explores special low‑pressure conditions, exhaust-steam opportunities, and the idea that thoughtful piping design can dramatically cut waste in industrial plants. The material is presented in a clear, step-by-step way suitable for engineers working on heating, power, or manufacturing systems.
What you’ll experience

• Clear explanations of how steam flow, pipe size, and pressure interact
• Practical curves and methods you can apply in real design work
• Guidance for low-pressure systems, radiating surfaces, and exhaust-steam reuse
• Realistic examples that illustrate how to reduce waste and cut costs

Ideal for readers who design or upgrade steam systems in industrial plants, power stations, or heating installations, this edition provides actionable methods and references you can use in everyday work.
