Why hammering is happening in steam line?
condensate in the steam piping, probably due to improper slope of piping to allow condensate flow out.
Why you use the steam trap to separate any liquid content?
Steam traps help out in a couple of ways: Where steam is being passed through a turbine, entrained liquid droplets could cause problems when the impact the blades of the turbine. Where steam is being used to heat something, the liquid has already lost the heat of vaporization, so it is not worth transporting for heating purposes.
What happens with underfloor heating if water gets on the floor?
Underfloor heating is used to help with controlling the temperature in the house with the convection heating method. If water get on the floor, the water will condensate into steam.
Why is radioactive steam so dangerous?
If the steam is enclosed between two valves and heat is continually added to the steam, the steam will become superheated and the pressure will increase which could cause an overpressure of the pipe.
What is the difference between condensate and water?
Unless any extra particles/sediments collected on the water particles(gas), they do not differ. Condensate is just when water particles(gas), have collected on an object after evaporation, and this process runs all on water. One example is when after you take a shower, the steam, (water particles/gas), collects on a mirror and drizzles down the mirror. This ends up being water!!!
Why condensate pot is used?
whenever steam is utilised as heating media, steam condensate is produced.This steam condensatecan be utilsed for steam generation at some other location and needs to be pumped, for pumping you need some intermediate storage of this condensate. For storing it we use condensate pot whose level can be controlled.
What is hammering in steam header's how can you avoid it?
condensate,bleed line of all condensate

How does condensate return to a boiler?
Condensate is what you get when you condense steam (water) that was heated in a boiler to make the steam. I'm not sure what else you are looking for.

What is the specific gravity of steam condensate?
1.000 at 60F.
What is the inlet pressure of a condensate tank?
It can be at any pressure less than the main steam pressure. I've operated steam systems with condensate tanks at widely varying pressures. The pressure a condensate tank, (which condenses some steam, but typically takes returns from steam traps) is wholly dependent on the system is installed in. Some heating system condensate tanks are designed to handle no more than 30 psig (minimum design requirement) yet take condensate at 1 or 2 psi from the steam traps. Other high pressure production lines operating at 50 - 100 psig could discharge to a tank at 50 - 100 psi, though the actual pressure would be reduced by the length of pipe transferring it to the tank. And the highest pressure I've operated a condensate system at was 600 psig, the steam system drew the steam for process from an extraction stage on the turbine at nominally 600 psi, though at low loads it was typically a much lower pressure.
What is a steam trap?
A device that will allow cooler condensate to pass and hold back the higher temperature steam
How do you convert pounds of steam to gallons of condensate?
One pound of steam condenses back to one pound of liquid water. Since one gallon of water weighs 8.337 pounds, simply divide the weight of the condensate by 8.337 to find out how many gallons of condensate you have.
How do you calculate 25 bar steam condenstate pressure?
If the steam pressure is 25 bars the condensate pressure is at most 25 bars. Typically it is slightly less due to friction of the fluid passing through the steam traps. As the condensate approaches the condensate tank, where it is normally vented to atmosphere, the pressure decreases in the system to near atmospheric.
What advantage does galvanised pipe have over black mild steel?
Great material for oil lines /natural gas /steam / hydronics / condensate /chilled water piping /air
