Search "Search is the most efficient way to navigate the Engineering ToolBox!" Recommended Velocities in Steam Systems The steam velocity in a steam distribution system should be within certain limits to avoid excessive wear and tear The steam velocities or speeds below are commonly recommended as acceptable for steam distribution systems: Steam System Velocity (m/s) (ft/s) Saturated Steam high pressure 25 40 82 131 Saturated Steam medium and low pressure 3040 99 131 Saturated Steam at peak load < 50 < 164 Steam and Water mix < 25 < 82 Superheated Steam 35 100 100 300 Saturated steam low pressure is common for heating services and secondary process pipes. Saturated steam high pressure is common in powerhouse, boiler and main process lines. Superheated steam is common in power generation and turbine plants.
