If you wish to suggest a new steam resource or alter anything in this list please enter the site URL in the guest book below. I shall look it up as soon as I can and include your URL if appropriate. You may enter any other comments or suggestions in the same book too.

If you have a general link unrelated to steam and steam technology that you wish to list please enter it here right now!

STEAM TABLES

 

For the latest steam tables in SI units check here. The tables are elegantly printed and a pleasure to behold. The tables contain both thermodynamic and transport properties. They can be referred to online for free. To refer online press the preview button on the suggested page. Printed copies cost about ten dollars each.

Babcock & Wilcox wrote the book on steam. Literally. Now in its 40th edition, published in December 1992, Steam is the reference authority for the steam generation industry. Its more than 1,000 pages are broken down into nine sections, described below. The book begins with a 17-page Introduction to Steam and eight Selected Color Plates (illustrations).

Steam Turbines Power Plants. Steam turbines and plants from Siemens Power Generation are among the most powerful and competitive in the world. Improved efficiency and emissions-reducing in-furnace and post-combustion measures allow them to comply with even the most stringent environmental standards.

Boiler and Pressure Vessel Manufacturer links. Documents like ASME data reports, drawings, etc. are sometimes difficult or next to impossible to locate especially if the manufacture is out of business.  These links identify where and who to contact to find this information even if the boiler or pressure vessel manufacturer has been out of business for 40-years.

STEAM PROPERTIES AND SOFTWARE

 

http://www.higgins.ucdavis.edu/webMathematica/MSP/Examples/steamtable

This calculator allows you to determine the thermodynamic properties of steam. It uses the IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS-IF97).

http://www.taftan.com/steam.shtml

Steam Properties is an MS Windows application that calculates properties of steam/water within a wide range of pressure and temperature. The pressure range is 0.01 bar to 1000 bar and the temperature range is 0 C to 800 C. It is based on a set of equations accepted by the members of the Sixth International Conference on the Properties of Steam. The sets of equations are also known as "IFC Formulation for Industrial Use". It will run on Win 95, Win 98 and Win NT 3.51 or higher. It may be used for analyzing a number of energy conversion units used in power plants, such as steam turbines, pumps, boilers and heat exchangers. The results of the program can be transferred to the other Windows application, such as spreadsheets for further calculation. Some examples of usage are provided in the package
