ITT Hoffman has added Steam Calculators On-Line to provide assistance to help in the design of a steam system and/or to show the importance of a properly designed and maintained system.
 

Click on any of the buttons è to be taken to the calculator.

The FLASH STEAM Calculator provides the following features:

- Allows easy calculation of flash steam loss and associated energy cost.

- Values from "Properties of Saturated Steam Tables" automatically considered - no need to look up information.

- Allows user input of their actual cost of steam.

- Calculates energy loss on an hourly and annual basis.

- Allows calculation of energy savings by operating steam equipment at a lower pressure.

- Calculates required flash tank size.


The STEAM PIPE SIZE Calculator provides the following features:

- Allows quick sizing of steam lines, showing steam velocities and pressure drop in calculated pipe size.

- Values from "Weight-Flow Rate" and "Velocity of Steam" charts automatically considered - no need to look up information.

- Calculates approximate pipe size.

- Calculates steam velocity and pressures drop per 100 feet of calculated pipe size.


The CONDENSATE PIPE SIZE Calculator provides the following features:

- Allows quick sizing of condensate return lines.

- Values from "Weight-Flow Rate" and "Velocity of Steam" charts automatically considered - no need to look up information.

- Calculates approximate return pipe size


The STEAM LOSS THROUGH FAILED TRAP Calculator provides the following features:

- Allows easy calculation of flash steam loss and associated energy cost through a failed steam trap.

- Values from "Properties of Saturated Steam Tables" automatically considered - no need to look up information.

- Calculates energy loss on an hourly basis.

- Calculates cost of steam loss on an annual basis.
