One pound of steam contains approximately 1,200 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of energy. This value can vary slightly depending on the pressure and temperature of the steam, but it is a standard approximation used in calculations involving steam systems. For more precise applications, it's important to consider the specific enthalpy of the steam at the given conditions.

How do you convert pounds per hr steam to btu per hr?

You need to look at a steam table first then Multiply lbs/hr steam x latent heat of evaporation in BTU/lb @ the operating pressure.

How many BTU'S in a steam line if the pressure is 140 PSI?

To calculate the BTUs in a steam line at 140 PSI, you first need to determine the enthalpy of the steam at that pressure. At 140 PSI, the saturation temperature is approximately 366°F, and the enthalpy of saturated steam is about 1,200 BTU per pound. Therefore, if you have the mass flow rate of steam, you can multiply it by the enthalpy to find the total BTUs being carried in the steam line.

How many Btu are required to change 600 pounds of water at 75 degrees F to steam at 212 degrees F?

1 BTU is required to raise 1lb of water 1 degree F in 1 hour. 212-75=137 degrees 600 lbs water x 137 degrees= 82,200 BTU's required to change 75 degree water to 212 degree water. To change 212 degree water to 212 degree steam it requires 970 btu's (latent heat of vaporization) per lb of water 970 btu x 600 lbs water = 582,000 btu Answer - 582,000 btu+ 82,200 btu = 664,200 btu's
