Industry experts expect that 15-20% of generated steam is lost through defective steam traps. Defects in steam traps therefore represent a major source of energy and profit loss, rise of maintenance costs and in the worst-case production downtime.
Defective Steam Traps Consequences
Loss of 15-20% of generated steam
Risk of Production Downtime in severe cases
Pressure Increase in Condensate Headers
Danger of Water Hammer and Accidents
Potential for compromised Product Quality in sensitive processes
Constraints of Today’s NDT Options
Complex to use & Error Prone
Need Trained & Experienced Personnel
Require time-consuming analysis
Use Proprietary & Closed Devices
