Steam refers to the gaseous state formed by substances at high temperature and high pressure. Steam has been widely used in various industrial and commercial fields, such as power plants, gas turbines, boilers and heating processes. In chemical industry, steam is usually one of the most important heating methods, because it can heat reactants quickly and evenly.

There are many units for measuring steam. Common steam units are pound/hour, kilogram/hour, pound/minute, kilogram/second, etc. This means that we can convert the steam quantity according to different measurement units and use it in different fields. For example, in order to generate electricity, we need to know how much steam can be generated per hour. In the field of automatic process control, we usually need to know the flow rate of steam per second.

The unit of steam is not only a simple number, but also closely related to the environment and use. For example, in the shipbuilding industry, the steam pressure of the propulsion ship must be strictly controlled to ensure good performance and safety. Therefore, we need accurate steam measuring devices to monitor and control these processes. In a word, the measurement and monitoring of steam is a vital link in the industrial and commercial fields, which also enables us to better control and manage energy consumption.
