About Steam 97 ActiveX Dll Library
The Steam97 ActiveX DLL library calculates 30 thermodynamic and transport properties
of water and steam, and provides access to 8 constant properties used by the steam tables solver.
The library supports SI and English units.
It allows 16 different combinations of input variables to
be used for calculations.
Input variables that can be used are:
- pressure,
- temperature,
- enthalpy,
- entropy,
- volume,
- internal energy,
- and steam quality.
Main features of the library:
- Thoroughly tested with 100 million points generated by random number generator;
- Developed in C++ for maximum speed;
- Thread safe;
- The library can be used on any win32 / win64 platform;
- Also the library can be used in any programming language that supports ActiveX (COM) components;
- Full .NET support (C#, VB.NET);
- Uses special proprietary technology for speed optimization.
Based on our measurements speed is improved from 3.87 to 6 times over standard version;
- Royalty free.
- Used by thousands of Engineering Professionals from all around the world.

Used Formulations
The library uses new industrial formulation for steam tables, called
"IAPWS Industrial Formulation
1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS-IF97)", and replaces
the previous industrial formulation for steam tables, IFC-67.
IAPWS-IF97 improves significantly both accuracy and speed of the calculation of
the thermodynamic properties compared with the old formulation.
For transport properties calculations are based on the latest internationally accepted
equations also available from IAPWS.
