This thesis deals with the basic method of calculating hydraulic grids. The mathematical model is demonstrated on a real world distribution grid of saturated steam in a production plant with a total flow of 11500 kg h-1 of steam, at the head of 9.5 bar. Temperature and head measurements were taken in order to determine the actual state of the grid. We then compared the results of measurements with our calculations, to determine the suitability of singular branches and sections; and to recommend possible improvements.
