Determining Condensate Loads to Size Steam Traps
standard by Fluid Controls Institute, 2016
Full Description
The purpose of this standard is to help estimate condensate loads using generally accepted formulas. The result is then used to size a steam trap with sufficient safety factor to discharge the necessary flow throughout the positive pressure differential range without being grossly oversized. A properly-sized steam trap can help provide reliable and efficient function.
