Original Released by Magnus Holmgren for Matlab and Excel: http://xsteam.sourceforge.net and/or http://www.x-eng.com
At this github repository you can find the/a matlab version.
XSteam provides (mostly) accurate steam and water properties from 0 - 1000 bar and from 0 - 2000 °C according to the IAPWS release IF-97. For accuracy of the functions in different regions see IF-97 Page 4
Also includes thermal conductivity and viscosity, which are not part of the IF97 release.
- Thermal Conductivity: (IAPWS 1998) http://www.iapws.org/relguide/ThCond.pdf
- Viscosity: (2003)
Some effort has been made to include the refined function of more recent releases and also functions for calculations on heavy water. This includes:
- IAPWS R4
- IAPWS R14

There are no requirements for installing pyXSteam with Python 3.6 and up.
Tests require numpy, demos require numpy and matplotlib
run python3 setup.py install
To run unittests you need two additional packages: pytest and numpy. After installing both, just run pytest in
the base directory. The tests use some fixed values from the documentation to make sure that every coefficient
and formula works as intended.
To test if setup was successful, run python3 bin/pyXSteamDemo.py. This will require numpy and matplotlib to be installed.
All Functions follow the same naming schema: First the wanted property,
then a underscore _, then the wanted input properties Example:
t_ph is temperature as a function of pressure and enthalpy. For a list
of valid functions se below:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| t | Temperature (°C or °F) |
| p | Pressure (bar or psi) |
| h | Enthalpy (kJ/kg or btu/lb) |
| v | Specific volume (m3/kg or ft^3/lb) |
| rho | Density (kg/m3 or lb/ft^3) |
| s | Specific entropy (kJ/(kg °C) or btu/(lb °F)) |
| u | Specific internal energy (kJ/kg or btu/lb) |
| Cp | Specific isobaric heat capacity (kJ/(kg °C) or btu/(lb °F)) |
| Cv | Specific isochoric heat capacity (kJ/(kg °C) or btu/(lb °F)) |
| w | Speed of sound (m/s or ft/s) |
| my | Viscosity (N s/m^2 or lbm/ft/hr) |
| tc | Thermal Conductivity (W/(m °C) or btu/(h ft °F)) |
| st | Surface Tension (N/m or lb/ft) |
| x | Vapor fraction |
| vx | Vapor Volume Fraction |
Simple Example:
from pyXSteam.XSteam import XSteam
steamTable = XSteam(XSteam.UNIT_SYSTEM_MKS)
print(steamTable.hL_p(220.0))
By using the unitSystem Parameter, you can tell XSteam witch Unit System you are using.
steamTable = XSteam(XSteam.UNIT_SYSTEM_MKS) # m/kg/sec/°C/bar/W
steamTable = XSteam(XSteam.UNIT_SYSTEM_FLS) # ft/lb/sec/°F/psi/btu
steamTable = XSteam(XSteam.UNIT_SYSTEM_BARE) # m/kg/sec/K/MPa/W
To enable logging, add the following lines to your code:
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
or alternatively
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('pyXSteam')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
sh = logging.StreamHandler()
sh.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'))
logger.addHandler(sh)
