Steam Trap

Steam traps are devices used in piping systems to remove condensate (water) and non-condensable gases from the steam system. They are typically installed in areas where steam is used for heating or process applications.

In the supply class Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings, steam traps are fittings specifically designed for steam systems. They are used to control the flow of steam and ensure that condensate is effectively removed from the system.

Steam traps are important in maintaining the efficiency and performance of steam systems. They help prevent the loss of steam, which can result in energy waste and increased operating costs. Additionally, steam traps help protect equipment and piping from damage caused by water hammer and corrosion.

There are different types of steam traps available, including mechanical traps, thermostatic traps, and thermodynamic traps. Each type operates based on different principles and is suitable for specific applications.

When selecting a steam trap, factors such as system pressure, temperature, and flow rate need to be considered. It is important to choose the right steam trap for the specific requirements of the steam system to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.
