steam Flow Rate through Piping formula

\( Q_s =  3600 \; \pi \; ( v_s \;/\; \upsilon )   \; \left( d\;/\;24 \right) ^2  \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( Q_s \) = steam flow rate \(ft^3\;/\;sec\) \(m^3\;/\;s\)
\( \pi \) = Pi \(3.141 592 653 ...\)
\( d \) = pipe inside diameter \(in\) \(mm\)
\( \upsilon \)  (Greek symbol upsilon) = specific volume of steam \(ft^3\;/\;lbm\) \(m^3\;/\;kg\)
\( v_s \) = steam velocity \(ft\;/\;sec\) \(m\;/\;s\)
