Superheated steam is created by further heating wet or saturated steam beyond the saturated steam point. This yields steam that has a higher temperature and lower density than saturated steam at the same pressure.
Even a relatively new steam Trap seemingly in a new condition can fail if applied incorrectly. This can be understood by seeing the difference between the live steam or simply looking the flash steam.
There are so many parameters that determines steam characteristics. These parameters are structured and readily made available in a table called “Steam Table”.
“Flash steam” is simply steam. Which is produced when high pressure condensate is discharge to a lower pressure.
Steam Table is very important to steam users in industries & will help you to find various properties of steam at any given particular.
