This page explains how Steam Trap is classified within Repair and Installation of Machinery and Equipment. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A device that automatically discharges condensate and non-condensable gases from steam systems while preventing steam loss.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Steam Trap
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Diameter | 15–50 mm | Matches pipe size; larger sizes require different trap types.ISO 6708 |
| Maximum Allowable Pressure | 2.5 MPa | Exceeding may cause body failure. |
| Maximum Operating Temperature | 220 °C | Above this, sealing materials degrade. |
| Minimum Operating Temperature | -10 °C | Below this, ice formation may occur. |
| Capacity | 100–2000 kg/h | At 0.5 MPa differential pressure.ISO 6708 |
| Leakage Rate | ≤0.5 % of rated capacity | Higher leakage wastes steam.ISO 5208 |
| Body Material | WCB/CF8 | WCB for carbon steel, CF8 for stainless.ASTM A216/A351 |
| Connection Type | Flanged/Threaded | Flanged for high pressure, threaded for small sizes.ISO 6708 |
| Weight | 2–10 kg | Depends on size and material. |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Vacuum to 450 bar (depending on design) |
| flow rate: | 0.1 to 50,000 kg/h condensate capacity |
| temperature: | -20°C to 600°C (depending on trap type and materials) |
| slurry concentration: | Not recommended for slurries >5% solids by volume; solids handling requires specialized designs |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

The primary function is to automatically discharge condensate and non-condensable gases from steam systems while preventing steam loss, thereby maintaining system efficiency and preventing water hammer.
Common types include thermodynamic, thermostatic, and mechanical (float) traps. They operate based on density, temperature, or phase change differences between steam and condensate.
Materials on file include stainless steel, cast iron, and carbon steel. Body material grades may be WCB (carbon steel) or CF8 (stainless steel) per ASTM A216/A351.
Nominal diameter ranges from 15 to 50 mm, operating pressure from 1.0 to 1.6 MPa, maximum allowable pressure 2.5 MPa, maximum temperature 220°C, minimum -10°C, capacity 100-2000 kg/h at 0.5 MPa differential, leakage ≤0.5% of rated capacity. Always verify with the manufacturer.
