Inverted Bucket Steam Traps

(Cast Iron)

DESCRIPTION:
Inverted bucket steam trap with all stainless steel
internals. Best suited for equipment drains with
medium to heavy condensate loads. Intermittent
operation.

FEATURES:
The inverted bucket arrangement operates on the
density difference between steam and water, giving a
cyclic operation for discharge of the accumulated
condensate.
High condensate handling capacities even at low
pressures, permit the use of small trap sizes to suit
many applications.
The valve and valve seat are hardened by a special
induction hardening process to withstand continuous,
prolonged operation.
Perfect shut-off, no steam loss.

SIZES: DN15, 20, 25, 40

CONNECTIONS: Screwed (NPT/BSPT/BSP)

Guidelines on use of Capacity Chart
• Go to the differential pressure column corresponding to or slightly higher than, but not less than the operating differential pressure at which the trap is to be used.
July 2008

Move vertically downwards and select a suitable model and valve size.
• The selected capacity should be equal to or higher than the condensate load after including a safety factor of 2 to 3. Oversizing is not recommended.
• Example - Operating conditions = l) Inlet press. 4 bar(g) ll) Back press. 1 bar(g) lll) Condensate load 200 kg/hr. lV) Safety factor 2.
Model Selected: PT21-20 • Valve Size : 4.0 mm • Capacity 400 kg/hr @ a diff. pressure of 3 bar.
