Convert weight to volume.

The weight of steam is equal to the total weight of the water molecules in the steam and none are lost during condensation, therefore a pound of steam will produce a pound of condensate. Of course you must not confuse a pound of pressure with a pound of weight.
For water, the old saying works, "A pint's a pound the world around."

Basically, when you have one pound of steam, you are most likely weighing air and the water particles in the air. Since the weight of air is pretty much negligible, the weight of steam is equal to the weight of its condensate (cooled water.)

Wouldn't one pound of steam condense to form one pound (1 pint) of water?

I would use a steam table
