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.

Materials and Available Grades

The body and internal materials can be selected according to pressure, temperature and condensate conditions.

  • Ductile Iron GGG40 – Used for compatible pressure and utility applications

  • Carbon Steel ASTM A216 WCB – Suitable for demanding steam service

  • Cast Stainless Steel ASTM A351 CF8 – Austenitic stainless steel construction

  • ASTM A351 CF8M – Molybdenum-bearing stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance

  • ASTM A351 CF3 – Low-carbon stainless steel construction

  • ASTM A351 CF3M – Low-carbon molybdenum-bearing stainless steel

  • Stainless Steel Internal Components – Used for the float, valve mechanism and other selected wetted parts

  • Graphite and Stainless Steel Gasket Construction – Used in suitable sealing arrangements

Technical Specifications

  • Trap Type – Ball Float Steam Trap

  • Nominal Size – DN15 to DN125, depending on construction

  • NPS Size – 1/2 inch to 5 inch, configuration dependent

  • Pressure Rating – PN16, PN25 and PN40, depending on model

  • ASME Pressure Class – Class 150, with higher classes depending on construction

  • Maximum Allowable Pressure – Up to 40 bar gauge on selected configurations

  • Maximum Allowable Temperature – Up to 300°C on selected configurations

  • Maximum Differential Pressure – Up to 32 bar, model dependent

  • End Connections – Threaded, socket weld or flanged, depending on design

  • Flow Direction – As indicated on the valve body

  • Installation – Horizontal or other specified orientation according to trap construction

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.

Speciality Valve is the best  Ball Float Steam Trap Manufacturer in India, providing mechanical condensate drain designs for steam applications that need constant condensate draining and secure steam containment. Material, body material type, dimensions, pressure, differential pressure, connections, and inner design of the valve may be selected based on the given conditions.
