What is the operating pressure range of a vapor steam system?

The operating pressure range of a vapor steam system is typically within 2 to 10 ounces of pressure. This low-pressure range is characteristic of vapor steam systems, which operate efficiently to distribute steam heat for various applications, particularly in heating and humidification processes. Maintaining this specific pressure range facilitates the use of steam for effective heat transfer without significant risk of leaks or other pressure-related issues.

Understanding the operating parameters is essential for ensuring the safe and efficient running of the steam system, as well as for troubleshooting and maintenance. Operating outside this pressure range could result in performance issues or system failures.
