is the equilibrium condition at which the temperature of
the steam is the same as that of the liquid water from which it is formed.
Under this condition, steam containing no unvaporized water particles is
called "100% quality." If the temperature of the steam is higher (at the
same pressure), as in a steam radiator, the quality drops, and the steam
becomes wet, or condenses. At 50% quality, half of the weight represents
water, the other half vapor. Saturated steam at atmospheric pressure has a
temperature of 100°C (212°F).
