High Pressure Steam

High pressure steam, abbreviated as HPS, refers to steam that is generated at elevated pressures compared to standard atmospheric pressure.  Generally, high pressure steam refers to steam generated at pressures higher than 1 atmosphere (101.3 kilopascals or 14.7 pounds per square inch).

Generating and utilizing high pressure steam requires specialized equipment, such as boilers and steam turbines, designed to handle the increased pressure and temperature.  Safety measures and proper maintenance are crucial to ensure the safe operation of high pressure steam systems.

It's important to note that working with high pressure steam can be hazardous, as the high temperatures and pressures involved can cause severe burns or other safety risks.  Therefore, appropriate precautions and training are essential when dealing with high pressure steam systems.
