ASME B31.1 Power Piping Steam Table

Calculate ASME B31.1 power piping steam properties.

Steam table properties can be calculated for saturated liquid, saturated vapour, and mixed saturated liquid and vapour from quality factor. The enthalpy and internal energy are calculated from the mass. The saturation point can be calculated from either the saturation temperature, or the saturation pressure.

Note : There is an anomaly in the steam calculation for region 3 between the saturated vapour line, the regions 2/3 boundary, and the critical pressure. Refer to the region 3 anomaly help page for more details (click the utility button on the data bar). IAPWS R7-97 is intended for industrial use, and is a simplified version of IAPWS R6-95 for scientific use.

CALCULATOR : ASME B31.1 Steam Vapour Pressure [FREE]   ±

Calculate ASME B31.1 steam saturation pressure and temperature.

The saturation point can be calculated from either the saturation temperature, or the saturation pressure. The calculation is valid between 273.15 K, and the critical point, 647.096 K.

Note : There is an anomaly in the steam calculation for region 3 between the saturated vapour line, the regions 2/3 boundary, and the critical pressure. The liquid and vapour properties are the same in the anomaly zone. Select region 2 for different liquid and vapour properties in the anomaly zone.

CALCULATOR : ASME B31.1 Steam Properties [FREE]   ±

Calculate ASME B31.1 steam table properties from temperature and pressure.

Steam table values can be calculated for water and steam, saturated water, saturated steam, saturated water and steam, metastable water, and metastable steam. The calculations for water and steam are valid between 273.15 K and 1073.15 K (0 to 100 MPa), and between 1073.15 K and 2273.15 K (0 to 50 MPa).

The saturated water and steam calculations are valid between 273.15 K and 647.096 K.

The metastable calculation is valid between 273.15 K and 647.096 K, and for pressure from the saturated vapour line to the 5% equilibium moisture line (user defined).

Note : There is an anomaly in the steam calculation for region 3 between the saturated vapour line, the regions 2/3 boundary, and the critical pressure. Select either region 2 or region 3 for calculations in the anomaly zone.
