Steam Properties (STM) function block

Steam Properties function block application information

The STM function block calculates steam enthalpy, entropy, and specific volume for a given gauge pressure and a given temperature. The block calculations apply to superheated steam and saturated steam.The valid ranges are:
  • Temperature: 32 to 3632°F (0 to 2000°C)
  • Pressure:
    • P > -14.696 psig (0 Mpa )
    • P <= 14489 psig (100 Mpa)

      for temperature < 1472°F (800°C)

      or

      P <= 7237.1 psig (50 Mpa )

      for temperature => 1472°F (800°C)

The minimum valid temperature for saturated steam is the higher of 383°F ( 195°C) or the saturation temperature for the input pressure.
