The book "The lost art of steam heating" Page 159 step 4. Refers to 390 pounds per hour of condensate. In chart on page 156 it shows 2psi diff,3/4 pipe capable of handling 200 lbs per hour. Need some clarification. Thanks all.

The chart on page 156 has a roughly 50% safety factor built in.
So to get actual capacity, multiply that particular chart by about 2.0
