Latent heat of vaporisation of saturated steam vs temperature

Latent heat of vaporisation in kJ/kg, from 100 to 200 °C along the saturation curve. The chart and the table below are the same numbers; the table is the one you can copy.

Rows marked published land exactly on a source anchor and are the tabulated figure. The rest are this library’s interpolation between the two anchors either side — good enough to design with, and said out loud so you can decide that for yourself.
