A gravity return pipe of this size carrying only 3 gpm has to be mostly empty. This cannot be more than 3 gpm, because that is the upper limit of the pumps. The pipe at the flow meter is 3". Gravity return capacity for a 3" pipe is 130 gpm, and this is only 3 gpm, so obviously the pipe is mostly empty.

It is open to the air. You can see that from a photo.

Therefore the boiling point was well over 100 deg C, and this was water, not steam. It could not have been 1 atm because the water would not have flowed. > Re the steam pipe, Smith is more generous than Murray who shrinked it to > 40mm, he says it is 4.5inches- the pipe is actually 6 inches. > Penon said it was 1.5". If it were 2 feet in diameter that would make no difference. It was still hot water. Penon is not a reliable source of information so perhaps it was 4.5" or 6". - Jed
