Assuming the boiling is always happening at the same pressure, you can extend the horizontal line B-C to the temperature axis and treat that as the temperature of boiling. Wet steam is present only AT the temperature of boiling. As long as the temperature of the vapour is just above the boiling temperature then you can be sure it is dry steam, even if it is only a tenth of degree above the boiling temperature. Harry
