Dear Eng-Tipers,
Can someone suggest books, articles, pamphlets, etc. (printed information) that give guidelines on how to design steam distribution systems for chemical plants?
TIA, dogtop

This book from Armstrong is excellent.

The often cited, big "Steam:its generation and use" book from babcock and wilcox is very detailed on the equipment side and dials down to process requirements for specific applications.

The best books and references we can give you only depend on what kind of system that you are trying to build.
The "Steam" book by B&W is a classic for power plant boilers and steam systems. Process steam systems are only mentioned tangentially.
All of the Spirax information is also very good, but is only for systems that distribute saturated steam and does not give you the kind of information that you would need for multi-pressure, multi-use systems that you would find in a refinery.
Over the past twenty years I have collected three binders of information about various aspects of integrated steam and condensate system design.
