Steam Table

steam_table.zip
This link provides an Excel spreadsheet to calculate steam properties.
Extract the steam67.dll and steam67_metric.xls files. You can run by opening the steam67_metric.xls file from within Excel (File/Open), not by double clicking. To enable double clicking, copy the steam67.dll to the c:\windows directory. You will need to enable macros.

This is an implementation of the 1967 ASME steam tables in an Excel spreadsheet. This comes from WinSim.com through KORF Software with metric conversion added by Thunderhead Engineering.
