Thermal conductivity of saturated steam vs temperature
Dry saturated steam from 100 to 200 °C — saturation pressure, vapour density and latent heat along the boiling line that low and medium pressure steam heating runs on.
Thermal conductivity in W/(m·K), 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.
