ASME began working on developing its steam tables, which list standardized thermodynamic properties for water in its vapor, liquid, and supercritical states, at a meeting in Cambridge, Mass., on June 23, 1921. It took decades of building consensus before the first ASME Steam Tables could be published. Today, steam tables are so ubiquitous that most engineers take them for granted.
