Say you have a 1" steam drain pipe (schedule 80).

On the inlet is steam at 200 psig and 500 F. It exhausts to a condenser at approx 25" mercury approximately 60' away. The I.D. is .96" (I think).

Can someone determine from this what the flow through the pipe is? Or is there a need for more information. I'm out of my area of expertise on this, so I'd appreciate anyones input.

I/m trying to quantify what how much steam we waste with this configuration (ie...no trap, no valve)

Thanks in advance!
