Steam Trap Selection Guide
No two steam trapping systems are identical. Because of the wide array of steam trap applications with inherently different characteristics, choosing the correct steam trap for optimum performance is difficult. Waterhammer, superheat, corrosive condensate, or other damaging operating characteristics dramatically affect performance of a steam trap. With over 80 years of experience in steam technology, Spirax Sarco along with their partner, Cooney Brothers, are committed to helping customers design, operate and maintain an efficient steam system.
