STEAM QUALITY MONITORING MEANS AND METHOD (D#78,860-F), ABSTRACT, A steam quality monitor monitoring the quality of steam flowing in the pipe includes capacitance sensing apparatus which senses the capacitance of the flowing steam and provides a capacitance signal corresponding to the said capacitance. Another sensor which may be either a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor senses either the temperature or pressure of the steam and provides a representative type signal. Circuitry connected to the capacitance sensor and to the temperature or pressure sensor provides an output corresponding to the quality of steam in accordance with the capacitance and the temperature or pressure signal.
