Steam Trap sizing

To be sure that your steam traps are correctly sized and of course that you are using the right type of steam trap you must consider several facts and these are generally the following; steam pressure, volume of steam, pressure drop across the process, process type and whether there is any potential for steam or air locking occurring. Once all these facts have been considered it is possible to decide on the size of the required steam trap. In the case of many of our customers they generally give us a call and we either size the required steam trap via our excellent team in the sales office or if there are issues that require further investigation a site visit can be arranged by contacting us to arrange one.
