Efficient steam systems start here, with practical design that cuts waste and costs.
Steam Piping: Its Economical Design and Correct Layout explains how to analyze steam flow in pipes, size piping economically, and cut both installation and operating costs. Drawing on professional experience, it presents curves and methods engineers can use to choose the right pipe sizes, reduce heat losses, and improve overall plant efficiency. The book also covers low‑pressure systems and the value of exhaust steam for practical energy savings.
You’ll discover how radiating surface, circulation, and pipe sizing interact, and how to interpret practical curves for real-world layouts. The author emphasizes that careful piping design yields meaningful savings without sacrificing performance.
- How to determine economical pipe sizes using practical curves and calculations
