Re: steam pipe
I've never heard of one. I would think if there was a proximity limit you would find it in "uses not permitted" of Article 344. But, being as how I can only find "344.10 uses permitted" and the NEC is a permissive document (meaning it only tells you what you "can't" do). I would interpret the NEC as being silent on it and therefore allowing it.

Re: steam pipe
Note that the close proximity of the steam pipe exposes the conduit and its conductors to higher temperatures, and the conductor type may have to be changed and a temperature correction factor would have to be applied. Most design specs require 6' to 12" of seperation.
