Thermodynamic Steam Trap – Flanged
Thermodynamic Steam Trap – Flanged is a compact thermodynamic steam trap with a forged steel body. Its only moving part, the disc, opens and closes with the velocity and pressure difference between steam and condensate. It works at high pressures and temperatures.

How Does It Work?
Condensate lifts the disc and is discharged. When steam arrives, velocity under the disc increases, pressure drops and the steam trapped in the control chamber above presses the disc closed. When that steam condenses and the pressure falls, the cycle repeats.
Applications
- Irons and ironing presses
- Steam tracing lines
- Drying units
- Pressing units
- Steam-jacketed pipes
Key Features
- Hardened disc and seat
- Built-in, easy-to-clean strainer
- Replaceable internals
- Compact and light
Selection and Installation
When ordering, state the connection type, steam pressure, steam temperature, condensate load and back pressure. The flow direction is marked on the body.
