Pressure and Temperature
This steam table shows the relationship between pressure and temperature in a boiler or steam accumulator:
| Gauge pressure, PSI (bar) | Absolute pressure, PSI (bar) | Temperature, °F (°C) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 (0) | 15 (1) | 212 (100) |
| 35 (2.4) | 50 (3.4) | 281 (138) |
| 85 (5.9) | 100 (6.9) | 328 (164) |
| 135 (9.3) | 150 (10.3) | 358 (181) |
| 185 (12.8) | 200 (13.8) | 382 (194) |
| 235 (16.2) | 250 (17.2) | 401 (205) |
Abbreviations and notes
- PSI = pounds-force per square inch
- Absolute pressure = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure
- °C = degrees Celsius
- °F = degrees Fahrenheit

Famous quotes containing the words pressure and/or temperature:
“He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
