Let our steam experts assess your facility
Steam trap surveys test and document the operational status of traps, utilizing both ultrasound and temperature differentials.
Survey data provides a complete trap inventory including location, type, and application. This information is included on a detailed formal report outlining findings and recommendations.
A detailed formal report outlining findings and recommendations as well as a full inventory of the steam traps is the final deliverable of the steam trap survey.
Scope of Work
Evaluate
Evaluate trap station noting the following components: isolation valves (inlet and outlet), inlet strainers, blowdown valves on the strainer, outlet check valves (if needed), trap station bypass, test valves or sight glass flow indicator.
Tag
Tag trap with sequentially numbered stainless steel tag and wire hanger.
Document
Document trap location, application, steam pressure, manufacturer, model and technology. Pipe size and trap size, connection type, inlet and outlet temperature and comments about existing installation are also documented.
Test
Test operational status of trap using a combination of ultrasound and temperature differential.
Report
We provide complete report noting entire results of survey, including synopsis of results (traps tested, leaking, plugged, not in service, etc.)
ROI
Return on investment calculation. This includes the cost of the survey, replacement steam traps for those traps found to be deficient and estimated labor to install the replacement traps. These costs are then compared to the losses associated with the traps found to be failed closed, leaking or failed open. Trap application problems and specific recommendations for trap and trap station improvements are also included.
