 Steam
Trap Surveys
Having a leaking steam trap in your steam system is like having
a hole in your wallet. Steam trap failure can be due to many reasons,
however a steam trap that is not operating or sealing properly,
will allow live and valuable steam to escape into the condensate
return line or back into the atmosphere. While replacing and/or
repairing steam traps may seem expensive at first, the cost is nothing
compared to the amount of money you're losing because of a leaking
steam trap.
Our Steam Trap Maintenance Survey
- Locate, identify and tag traps.
- Test traps using an ultrasonic steam trap testing instrument.
The VKP40.
- Provide a detailed trap report (includes a test graph for each
trap).
- Make recommendations for improved steam energy efficiency.
Most steam energy conservation programs start with a steam trap
maintenance survey because leaking traps can raise your operating
expenses by as much as a 30%. Experts agree that in a plant without
a conservation program, probably 50% of the traps are leaking some
steam or are completely failed open. By implementing such a program,
this figure can be reduced to less than 5%, saving you literally
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 Using
the best in ultrasonic devices, (the VKP40
Tester) and infrared testing devices our service will detect a plugged,
leaking or blowing steam trap, identify it, and then tag or paint
it. We will also provide a detailed audit including a a test graph
for each trap. These graphs can be compared to subsequent survey
graphs and this will result in an accurate visual indication of
the performance of the traps over a pre-determined period of time.

Large or small, companies will find increased energy savings and
reduced production costs with our attentive steam trap maintenance
program. Our testing services utilize the latest technology in ultrasonic
equipment and the most comprehensive steam trap software available.
