Formula to determine steam pressure at different heights

temperature at elevation? As a captive gas within a piping system the pressure within a given building at different heights is academically insignificant. Sort of like air pressure being 14.7 PSIA at sea level and about 12.2 PSIA at 5,000 feet.
It is not like water where the lower floors in a high rise zone will be much higher than at the top.
