Steam leaking from a hole estimator

Use to estimate the cost of a steam leak from a hole or similar to atmosphere

Saturated steam pressure
Estimated hole diameter mm
Cost of steam £ per
Hours of operation per year
Estimated steam leak flow
Estimated cost per annum if leak not fixed £

Notes

  • Figures calculated are of a simple theoretical nature and other variables may need to be considered depending on application
  • Estimates based on saturated steam
  • Steam leaks should aways be fixed as soon as is possible, as they are a possible health and safety risk, as well as wasting money
