Master practical steam-piping design for power plants with clear, field-ready guidance. This edition distills essential rules and methods to help you plan, install, and operate piping systems that are safe, reliable, and efficient.

Drawing on early 20th?century engineering practice, the book covers fundamental design goals, efficient pipe sizing for engines, and strategies to manage expansion and vibration. It explains how to reduce pressure drop, select suitable pipe bends, and position receivers to maintain steady steam flow and protect equipment. The content emphasizes real-world considerations, from material choices to anchoring and supporting lines for long life and easy maintenance.

• How to size steam pipes for different engine configurations and operating speeds.


• Expansion and contraction: choosing long-radius bends, anchors, and proper movement to prevent leaks and damage.


• Practical handling of vibrations, drop in pressure, and the placement of receivers close to throttles.


• installation tips and safety considerations drawn from actual practice in power plants.

Ideal for engineers, plant designers, and maintenance staff involved in steam systems, from new installations to upgrades of existing plants.
