Steam Tables calculates the functions below, using the IAPWS-97 equations: •Function(p,t) – to calculate properties from pressure and temperature; •Function(p,h) – to calculate properties from pressure and enthalpy; •Function(p,s) – to calculate properties from pressure and entropy; •Function(p,x) – to calculate properties from pressure and quality; •Function(t,x) – to calculate properties from temperature and quality; •Function(h,s) – to calculate properties from entalpy and entropy. From the functions above, you can calculate quickly the properties below: •Pressure; •Temperature; •Enthalpy; •Entropy; •Quality; •Specific Volume; •Internal Energy; •Density; •See the current region. •Use multiple units. The best thermodynamic properties calculation in the App Store!!!!!
Linear Interpolation Master
This tool simplifies linear interpolation calculations for industrial commissioning engineers. It features large, easily readable numbers for field use and allows for quick swapping of coordinate systems, such as converting between 4-20mA and 0-100% scales.
- Large number display for field visibility
- Quickly swap X and Y coordinates
- 4-20mA to 0-100% conversion
- 0-100% to 4-20mA conversion
