First you should realize that "specific volume" is an intensive property - independent of the amount of a substance. It is the reciprocal of density. Second you need to remember that specific volume depends on both the pressure (150 psi in this case) AND the temperature. My guess is that you are interested in the specific volume of saturated steam at 150 psi. The specific volume of saturated steam at 150 psi is 26.78 ft3/lb.
20 psi = 555.85 inH2O @39.2 F
8.51 g/l at standard temperature (0 degrees Celsius,) but 7.93 g/l at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius). 1.251 g/l * 1 ATM / (100 psi * .0680459639 ATM/psi) = 8.51 g/l 1.251 g/l * 1 ATM / (100 psi * .0680459639 ATM/psi) / (293 K / 273 K) = 7.93 g/l
When water is heated, there is a relation between temperature and pressure at which the water and steam are in equilibrium. This applies up to 374 degC at which the corresponding pressure is 222 bar abs or 3220 psi abs. Beyond this temperature liquid water cannot exist and the steam is said to be supercritical. At any temperature between 100 degC and 374 degC there will therefore be a pressure at which steam is just formed and this is said to be dry saturated steam. It is saturated because if the temperature drops even slightly at the same pressure, steam will condense. If at this same pressure the steam is further heated, it is said to be superheated because it is at a temperature higher than dry saturated steam would be. Superheated steam is desirable for use in steam turbines, because it prevents formation of water droplets as the steam is expanded through the turbine-the droplets could damage the turbine blades. In the supercritical region above 374 degC steam will always exist whatever the pressure, so the concept of superheat does not apply here.
vaporization point of steam
That would depend on the pressure as there is something called pressure /temperature relationship @ 1 PSI the steam is 212 deg That would depend on the pressure as there is something called pressure /temperature relationship @ 1 PSI the steam is 212 deg
At 3.6 Bar (52.2 psi) Saturated Steam Temperature would be 148.8 Deg. C (299.9 Deg. F)
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.

Steam pressure does not exceed 103 Kpa (14.7 psi) in steam boilers, or as long as the temperature of the water does not exceed 121ºC (250ºF) or the pressure does not exceed 1103 kpa (160 psi) in hot water boilers 'Caesar Aborido BCIT'.
From 20 to 40 pounds PSI when the engine is at full operating temperature is normal. Any reading below 20 PSI may be cause for alarm.
The fittings THREADED are normally rated for 125 PSI but there are ratings over 3,000 PSI if needed such as high pressure steam applications Then one has to take temperature /pressure relationship into consideration higher temperature greater pressure
Around 40 psi when at full operating temperature. Anything below 20 psi may be cause for concern.
DRY steam is superheated There is a temperature below which steam will start to condense into water droplets. This is called the saturation temperature, and it varies with the pressure of the steam. Steam that is exactly at its saturation temperature is called saturated steam. Steam that is below its saturation temperature contains droplets of moisture and is called wet steam. Steam that is above its saturation temperature is called superheated steam.
