Steam Leak Cost Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Steam Leak Cost (SLC) is:

\[ SLC = A \times B \times C \]

Where:

$ SLC $ is the steam leak cost ($/day)
$ A $ is the steam leakage rate (kg/hr)
$ B $ is the operation hours per day (hr/day)
$ C $ is the cost of producing the steam ($/kg)

What is a Steam Leak Cost?

A steam leak cost is the total loss, in dollars, that a steam leak is costing a business per unit of time. It takes into account the rate of steam leakage, the number of operational hours per day, and the cost of producing steam. This calculation helps businesses understand the financial impact of steam leaks and the importance of timely maintenance and repair.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Steam Leakage Rate (A) = 10 kg/hr
Operation Hours Per Day (B) = 24 hr/day
Cost of Producing Steam (C) = $0.05 per kg

Using the formula to calculate the Steam Leak Cost:

\[ SLC = 10 \times 24 \times 0.05 = 12 \text{ dollars per day} \]

The Steam Leak Cost (SLC) is $12 per day.
