Abstract: A method and system for monitoring a steam system through remotely monitoring numerous points of a saturated steam system, wherein the method compares a steam temperature sensed at a portion of the steam system by a first sensor to a threshold subcooled temperature derived by a pressure sensed by a second sensor at or near the same portion of the steam system, wherein the method emits a warning to the first sensor when the sensed saturated temperature exceeds the derived threshold subcooled temperature.

Abstract: A temperature gauge display and a method of using the same to determine whether a saturated steam temperature is as it should be or if the saturated steam temperature is in the unacceptable subcooled range. The gauge display embodies a dial face providing a pointer movable along the dial face in the clockwise directions for indicating steam system temperature while an arcuate colored portion is located along a portion of the path of the pointer so that the pointer, the dial face, and the colored portion visually cooperate to indicate sufficient operation of the system being monitored, wherein the colored portion defines a subcooled range of saturated steam temperature for a specific saturated steam pressure.
