STAINLESS STEEL Spirax Sarco Float Bucket Testing Steam Trap

The steam trap achieves automatic drainage through the coordinated action of a float and an inverted tank. When condensate enters the valve body, the liquid level rises, causing the float to lift and open the valve, expelling condensate and air from the pipeline. As steam enters, the float descends, and the inverted tank rises to close the valve, preventing steam leakage. The valve cycles between opening and closing, achieving efficient drainage. Designed for testing and monitoring, this valve allows for observation of drainage effects during short-term operation or in small pipelines. Its compact design facilitates installation and maintenance, ensuring stable operation of the steam system.

• Thermodynamic bucket operating principle allows automatic opening and closing based on pressure and velocity differences, ensuring reliable condensate discharge under fluctuating steam loads.
• Stainless steel construction provides high strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in high-temperature and high-pressure steam applications.
• Testing design enables easy performance checking and condition assessment during operation, reducing maintenance time and improving system reliability.
• Compact FT44 structure suits limited installation space while maintaining efficient drainage and effective steam sealing performance.
• Suitable for superheated and saturated steam systems, offering stable operation across wide pressure and temperature ranges

Stainless steel steam traps are widely used in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and district heating industries. For example, in the reactor jackets and heat exchanger systems of chemical plants, they can continuously discharge condensate and effectively prevent steam leakage, ensuring stable heating processes while adapting to operating environments with large pressure fluctuations.
