The steam header is the main auxiliary equipment of a boiler. It distributes the steam generated during boiler operation to various pipeline branches. As a pressure-bearing device classified as a pressure vessel, its pressure rating and capacity must correspond to those of the matching boiler.

As a pressure-bearing device classified as a pressure vessel, its pressure rating and capacity must correspond to those of the matching boiler. Its main pressure-bearing components include the heads, shell and other materials.
I. Application The steam header, also known as the steam distribution manifold, is auxiliary equipment for steam boilers. It is widely used in power generation, petrochemical, iron and steel, cement, construction and other industries.
II. Performance & Structure The steam header is the main auxiliary equipment of a boiler, used to distribute the steam generated during boiler operation to various pipeline branches. As a pressure-bearing device classified as a pressure vessel, its main function is steam distribution. Therefore, the steam header is equipped with multiple valve connections to link the boiler’s main steam valve and distribution valves, so that the steam in the header can be delivered to each point of use. Its main pressure-bearing components include the distribution valve connections, main steam valve connections, safety valve connections, drain valve connections, pressure gauge connections, temperature gauge connections, heads and shell.
