Engineering ToolBox - Resources, Tools and Basic Information for Engineering and Design of Technical Applications!
A steam trap must be properly sized to handle the full load of condensate during startup.
| Steam Trap Type | Safety Factor |
|---|---|
| Balanced Thermostatic Steam Trap | 3 |
| Bimetallic Steam Trap | 2.5 |
| Float Steam Trap | 2 |
| Inverted Bucket Steam Trap | 2.5 |
| Liquid Expansion Steam Trap | 3 |
| Thermodynamic Steam Trap | 1.5 |
The estimated condensate load should always be multiplied by the recommended safety factor for trap selection.
