Cost of a Small Leak
Consider the following scenario:
Steam Loss at a rate of 2.6 lbs per minute
- Production Cost: $11.00/1,000 lbs.
- 1 Day Cost: $41
- 1-Week Cost: $287
- 1-Month Cost: $1,250
If the average steam season lasts 5-months, then that's $6,200 worth of steam loss
for each and every coupling in operation! Enough math for you?
