Ball Float Steam Trap Manufacturer in India

STEAM TRAP FLOAT TYPE - High-Performance Industrial Solution at Best Price

A ball float steam trap is a mechanical condensate removal device that uses a float-operated valve to discharge condensate from steam systems while preventing unnecessary steam loss. Speciality Valve is a top  Ball Float Steam Trap Manufacturer in India, manufacturing configurations for steam delivery, heating processes, heat exchangers, and condensate return systems. The type of construction of the trap depends on steam pressure, load of condensate, temperature, differential pressure, material specification, and connections.

Connections, Dimensions and Standards

Applicable technical standards can include:

  • ISO 6552 – Steam trap technical and performance requirements

  • EN 26704 – Automatic steam trap dimensions and requirements

  • EN 26554 – Face-to-face and end-to-end dimensions

  • EN 26948 – Test and inspection requirements

  • ASME B16.5 – Flanged connection dimensions where applicable

  • ASME B16.34 – Valve pressure-temperature requirements where applicable

Applications Across Steam Systems

  • Steam Distribution Lines – Continuous drainage of condensate from steam piping

  • Heat Exchangers – Removal of condensate from steam-heated equipment

  • Process Heating Systems – Condensate drainage from industrial heating equipment

  • Steam Coils – Drainage from heating and conditioning coils

  • Steam Headers – Removal of accumulated condensate from distribution headers

  • Condensate Return Systems – Discharge into suitable condensate recovery networks

  • Industrial Utility Systems – Condensate management throughout plant steam services

Performance and Installation Requirements

Reliable operation depends on correct installation and operating conditions.

  • Condensate Load – Normal and start-up loads should be considered when determining trap capacity.

  • Differential Pressure – Inlet pressure and condensate return pressure determine the available operating differential.

  • Temperature – Body, float, seat and gasket materials must withstand the specified steam temperature.

  • Flow Direction – The trap should be installed in accordance with the body marking.

  • Access – Adequate clearance should be provided for inspection and maintenance.

  • Drainage Arrangement – Upstream piping should allow condensate to reach the trap without unnecessary accumulation.
