Up to about 150 psig or so. Yes. Graphite is used for shaft seals on steam powered equipment.
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.
-15 degrees
the temperature from 260f to 280f under pressure of 320 to 325 psig
-15 degrees F
psia to psig psig - 15 15 - 15= 0 psig
This is a dangerous practice - make sure you have a safety valve set at a pressure your stove is certified for. The equilibrium steam/water pressure for temperatures above 100 C is: 110 C - 6psig, 120 C - 14 psig, 130 C - 24.5 psig, 140 C - 37.6 psig, 150 C - 54.3 psig.
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.
75 or 80
psia=psig+atmospheric pressure where, atmospheric pressure = 14.7psi therefore psig=psia-atmospheric pressure psig=100-14.7 psig=85.3psig
Pounds per Sq in gauge
the blowback or blowdown of the safety valve is at least 2 psi and for pressures over 100 psig is 2% of the popping pressure. The blowback is adjusted with the adjusting ring on the safety valve. The blowback is the pressure less than the popping pressure at which the safety valve will reset. Examples: a safety valve set to pop at 15 psig will reseat at 13 psig, the blowback is 2 psi. A safety valve set to pop at 250 psig will reseat at 245 psig the blowback is 5 psi or 2%.
