CAPPA Tech Tips – Steam Traps
If you have a steam system – you have them. Understood by few, they are required for safe & efficient production and distribution of steam. Small or large they can make or break your system and are frequently taken for granted (or completely forgotten). Steam traps are installed in lines to drain condensate from a system without allowing the escape of steam (MM3 & 2 124). There are several types of traps, and the application (not the pipe size) should determine the type of trap installed.
