The problem of low steam pressure

The steam pressure inside the pipe has nothing to do with the diameter of the pipe; it is related to the inlet pressure and the amount of steam used.
Just add a pressure relief valve, that’s all. The diameter of the pipe doesn’t affect the pressure, but it does affect the flow rate
The normal steam pressure is controlled by the gas supply unit and has nothing to do with the size of the pipes. However, the steam pressure in the pipeline can also be reduced by using an oil pressure reducing valve or a control valve in the pipeline.
The pressure level in the pipeline is determined by the design institute; there is a working pressure and a design pressure, with the design pressure being higher than the working pressure
Increase the flow rate while keeping the flow volume constant
If a low steam pressure is desired, a pressure-reducing device can be added; (of course, when the steam flow rate remains constant, increasing the pipe diameter can help reduce the pressure to some extent, but generally no companies adjust the pressure by changing the pipe diameter.) Common approaches include adding a humidifier or installing a pressure-regulating valve
