This paper describes laboratory air/water and field steam flow tests conducted to develop a reliable method for predicting the qualities of split streams and to find tee insert devices that increase the range of vapor-phase split ratios for which split qualities are equal. The results show that an empirical correlation based on air/water tests can be applied to field steam-distribution systems for predicting phase-splitting problems. The splitting problems are corrected by using the tee insert devices tested. Test data show that of the insert devices that were evaluated, the downstream nozzles produced equal-quality splits over the widest range of vapor-phase split ratios.
