What is a steam pipeline?

Steam pipelines are a vital component of the thermal pipeline system, their construction must comply with relevant standards such as GB50242 "Code for Construction Quality Acceptance of Building Water Supply, Drainage, and Heating Engineering," and the construction units must possess the corresponding qualification certificates. These pipelines are primarily used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for transmitting steam and fluid media in industrial settings. Common transmission media include hot water and steam.

Based on the pressure and temperature characteristics of steam, steam pipelines can be categorized into two types: saturated steam pipelines and superheated steam pipelines. Saturated steam pipelines have a pressure PN value not exceeding 1.6MPa, with design temperatures typically not exceeding 300 degrees Celsius, making them suitable for general steam transmission needs. Superheated steam pipelines also have limited design pressures, but with higher temperatures, they are suitable for applications with specific steam temperature requirements.
