required: The pipeline diameter for solution: Go, in the above capacity table, to the horizontal line for 12 bar
saturated steam capacity of 2300 kg/h (velocity 25 m/s) and look for a capacity value equal to or higher than 2300 kg/h.
at 12 bar (gauge) and a velocity of 25m/s. In this case you will find DN 65.
In long supply lines high pressure drops are to be avoided.
