First, here is my conclusion based on the methodology and resoning below: "If certain conditions are present, one can reduce this to a mass-in, mass out problem, and you don't need to measure the volume of steam exiting in order to estimate dryness" I don't think anyone here was suggesting that

Out of that 9m of hose, at least half is lying flat on the floor. That results in: 1) condensation forming a layer of liquid water that runs the entire length of that segment of hose, 2) the vapor must travel over that lquid water for that entire length 3) the floor itself could be sinking a sign
