What is the usual temperature of steam?

Anything greater than or equal to 212F (100C). Superheated steam used in steam locomotives, steam turbines in power plants, etc. can be any temperature from 500F to 2000F depending on the design of the system.Note: if you can see the "steam" it is not steam. What you see are tiny droplets of liquid water that have condensed from the steam and is probably exactly at 212F (100C) because it is in thermal equilibrium with the invisible steam at the same temperature.


Does boiling water effectively kill Legionella bacteria?
