Engineering Guides for Steam Systems, Piping and Industrial Valves

The engineering guides section of Philippopoulos S.A. provides practical technical information for the preliminary design, review and selection of equipment used in industrial steam, water, air and thermal fluid networks.

The guides cover topics such as saturated steam tables, recommended flow velocities, pressure drop in steam lines, air content in steam systems, flash steam calculation, thermal expansion of pipework, valve body materials and elastomer selection.

This content is intended for plant engineers, technical departments, maintenance teams, designers and procurement engineers who require technical data for valves, steam traps, piping, pressure reducing valves, heat exchangers and industrial network equipment.

  • Pressure Drop in Steam Lines
    Pressure Drop in Steam Lines
    Posted in: Engineering guides

    Pressure drop in a steam distribution network directly affects the available pressure at the point of use, as well as the operation of control valves, pressure reducing valves, steam traps and heat exchangers. For preliminary technical checks, pressure drop may be estimated using the steam density, flow velocity and the total resistance coefficient of the pipework and installed components.

    Recommended Flow Velocities for Steam, Water and Air Lines
    Posted in: Engineering guides

    The following values may be used as an indicative guide for preliminary checks of flow velocities in industrial steam, condensate, feedwater, cooling water and compressed air piping systems. Proper flow velocity selection affects pressure drop, noise, erosion, water hammer risk, condensate transport and the operation of valves, steam traps, pressure reducing valves and control equipment.

  • Saturated Steam Table
    Saturated Steam Table
    Posted in: Engineering guides

    The following table presents basic thermodynamic properties of saturated steam as a function of absolute pressure. The data may be used as a technical reference for preliminary calculations and equipment selection in steam systems, including steam traps, control valves, pressure reducing valves, safety valves, condensate lines and heat exchange applications.
