Flow through 3/4 open valve from High pressure steam line
Flow through 3/4 open valve from High pressure steam line
(OP)
If a 3/4" valve on a large high pressure steam header were opened. What would be the maximum amount of steam flow through this valve? Can anyone tell me what equation I could you use to calculate this.
Thanks
Thanks

1. Calculate sonic velocity of your steam.
2. Multiply this velocity times the flow area of your 3/4" valve to get the maximum volumtric flow rate.
Good luck,
