To be general, steam tables are used to determine the properties of fluid. Mostly used on engine, refrigerator and heat pump. It shows the pressure and temperature require for a fluid to reach a certain amount of energy level.

What were steam engine powers used for?
steam engine powers are used for the transport application in the early days. Later modified versions of the steam engines are used also for the electrical energy generation.
What is glandsteam?
Gland steam is used in engineering to prevent air from entering the steam chest.
Advantages and disadvantages on steam engine?
Steam engine advantages Any suitable form of energy can be used to make steam Not affected much by high altitudes Water can be re-used Steam engine disadvantages Has low efficiency, around 30% Are expensive to buy and run Give off a lot of pollution Take time to start Dangerous to use because of high pressure of steam Only 30% of the steam is used Lots of energy is needed to make the steam
What is steam power used for?
Steam power is used today as a form of power for many things. Some of these include powering factories and mills.
What is the function of a superheater?
It is used to convert saturated or wet steam into dry steam for use in steam turbines, which are used for marine propulsion and the generation of electricity. +++ Also used for steam feeding reciprocating engines such as railway locomotives. It is not just a matter of dryness. Superheating allows the steam to work as a gas for longer during its passage through the turbine or cylinder, hence increasing the thermal efficiency of the whole plant.

How does steam tables found?
The experimental data in steam tables have been measured in laboratories with precision instruments. They have been verified many times throughout the years and are therefore very reliable. A very simple experience is used to build a steam table. In a closed device, in which a specific flow of water circulates, a known electric current is introduced. From this current, we can infer the exact amount of heat added and we simply record the pressure and temperature at which the system stabilizes. See the 'Origin of steam tables' related link below for a diagram of this experimental setup.
How do you convert steam usage in tonnes to Kwh of gas consumed?
You have to consult tables which give the properties of water and steam (commonly called Steam Tables). You have to calculate the total enthalpy of the steam as delivered, and subtract the enthalpy of the returned condensate (if returned) or of the water as it enters the boiler. In modern steam tables this will be in kilojoules per kilogram. You can multiply by mass to get total energy. To convert to kilowatt-hours, note that 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Various organizations have published steam tables in the past. The one published by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam is the one to use, particularly the 1997 formulation for industrial application. There are some free caclulators online which claim compliance to the algorithms, but I can't vouch for any of them. It is not straightforward and you may want the services of a competent steam engineer (that leaves me out. I may be able to hack my way through, but I am not "qualified" in this area.)
What is the difference between a hot steam table and a hot food table electric or propane used in restaurants?
The purpose of a steam table is to heat food with steam. That is to say specifically from steam. Other types of hot tables will make use of water to keep food hot. The difference is that in a steam table the pans of food are not actually sitting in the water and can reach a higher temperature because steam gets hotter than water. Most tables employ the use of water heating the food directly, which will keep the temperature below 212F and heat the food more evenly. Both types of table can be either electric or propane fueled.
What is the Temp of 30 psi steam?
30 PSIG is about equal to 45 PSIA. Saturation temperature from the steam tables at 45 PSIA is about 274°F. So the steam would be 274°F, or hotter if superheated.

How much steam pressure would a five inches diameter by twelve inches long with six inches of water in it?
The steam pressure (assuming this is a closed container) will be entirely dependent on the temperature. Look up steam tables to get the pressure of saturated steam at various temperatures.
