If you have any details of the superheater or flow data for that then you might have a guess.

Sane as the ball valve. Get a CV curve for it.

But flow meters are cheap.

But without it you won't get anything better than about 50% uncertainty.
 
Measure the mass of condensate collected in a drum over a period of time.
