Boiling point of water

[Mike2007]

Yes I know its 100 degrees celsius! (at 1 bar)
But what it a 2 bar, 3 bar, 5 bar ??

Trying to convince a customer he needs his unvented cylinder serviced as its leaking a little bit.
Is it right that 1 litre of boiling water flashing to steam is 16,000 ltrs of steam

Hopefully anyone reading will notice that at 3 Bar the boiling point is 134° at which temperature the plastic pipe will have burst!

One litre of water would make sixteen hundred litres of steam.
If you can't convince him send water systems round.
