Lexicon employed for the steam (see thematic: Distribution of steam)

The module of integrated calculation makes it possible to establish all the physical characteristics of water, of vapor and of the vapor overheated

Steam in a saturated state(1)	Steam in an overheated state(2)

The calculation of the physical characteristics of the saturated steam (1) can be done from the relative pressure or conversely according to the temperature of the steam or the two parameters in the case of use of the overheated steam (2)

Functions of calculation written in VBA

There is a great number of functions integrated available immediately in Excel. The personalized functions written in VBA for the ThermoVapeur program can be used like the functions integrated of Excel with the proviso that of installed the ThermoVapor program in Excel.

The functions below are used in the sorter and can be re-used on other worksheets.
