The Steam Tools app is an iPhone application developed by Spirax Sarco to assist engineers have quick and easy access to both Steam Tables and a Saturated Steam Pipe Sizing tool.
Steam Tables
The Steam Tables cover the thermodynamic data for water/steam, supporting the design and operation of expert steam/water equipment. You simply need to enter a pressure or a temperature into the app, returning:
- The corresponding pressure or temperature.
- Water (hf) (Sensible Heat)
- Evaporation (hfg) (Latent Heat)
- Steam (hg) (Total Heat)
- Specific Volume Steam
Pipe Sizing Tool
The pipe sizing tool allows access to Saturated Steam pipeline data, helping you to size a pipeline.
You may easily download from Iphone's APP STORE. Read more information in ITune.

LNG Industry is an unique quarterly magazine that covers the global LNG sector from start to finish, from liquefaction to regasification. Each issue provides :
- in-depth technical articles focusing on all aspects of the LNG sector
- quality keynote articles from LNG majors, financial institutions and industry commentators
- regular regional reports from Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East
The Winter 2011 issue of LNG Industry has a particular focus on LNG safety and alternative uses of LNG apart from transportation, ranging from locomotive use to shipping fuel.
Winter 2011 issue covers following topics :

Mark W. Jessup, Markey Machinery Co., USA, examines the world’s changing weather patterns and what LNG companies can do to prepare themselves for the worst.
LNG: the flexible element
James Patrick O’Brien, EGL AG, Switzerland, comments on LNG market developments and the future of LNG from a market participant’s perspective.
Is LNG on track?
Constantyn Gieskes, Braemar Wavespec USA, Inc., USA, describes the potential benefits and pitfalls of converting rail locomotives to run on LNG.
Gas fuel: a new generation
Reidar Strande, Hamworthy Plc., UK, discusses the benefits of an LNG fuelling system.
The missing link
Jürgen Harperscheidt, TGE Marine Gas Engineering, Germany, discusses the development of bunkering LNG for shipping uses.
Who’s in control?
Dr. Ian Synge, ShipNet AS, UK, discusses the growing use of enterprise software to transport LNG efficiently and safely.
Intelligent valves
Sari Aronen, Metso Automation Inc., Finland, explains the benefits of selecting the right valves for LNG processing applications.

Natural
gas is used in industry and household to provide heating energy. It is
explored from gas well, treated transported to customer via large and
long pipeline. It is become non-cost effective once the pipeline length
is exceeded 3000 - 3500 km. Thus, another mode of transportation,
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is considered cost effective. Liquefied
Natural gas (LNG) is a process of cooling down the natural gas to form
liquid for easy storage and transportation. A LNG is normally contains
of Methane (CH4) which is more than 90% and other light hydrocarbon such
as Ethane (C2H6), Propane (C3H8), Butane (C4H10) and Nitrogen (N2)
inert gas. LNG is non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, odorless
and colorless. However, it is flammable and explosive and create
greenhouse effect to environment.
Following is an simple development milestones for LNG since 19th century
