A drip leg collects condensate that forms when steam cools, preventing water hammer and ensuring dry steam reaches downstream equipment. It works with a steam trap to automatically drain water while preventing steam loss.
Selection is based on pipe size and condensate load. The nominal diameter range is DN15–DN50 (ISO 6708). Consider the system's operating pressure and temperature, and verify capacity requirements with the manufacturer.
Drip legs are available in carbon steel (body material WCB) or stainless steel (body material CF8), per ASTM A216/A351. Choose based on the application's corrosion and temperature requirements.
Regular inspection is recommended to ensure the steam trap is functioning and no leaks are present. Maintenance frequency depends on system conditions; follow the manufacturer's guidelines and check for signs of water hammer or reduced steam quality.
