Steam Flow Using Babcock Formula

Example 2-9 Steam Flow Using Babcock Formula 

Determine the pressure loss in 138 feet of 8-inch Schedule 40 steel pipe, flowing 86,000 pounds per hour of 150 psig steam (saturated). 

Reading from lop at 150 psig, no superheat, down vertically to intersect the horizontal steam flow of 1432 lbs/min, follow diagonal line to the horizontal pipe size
