Spira-tec Trap Leak Detector System for Checking Steam Traps

Figure 61

Purpose The Spira-tec Trap Leak Detector System is designed to indicate if a steam trap is leaking steam. It can be used to check any known type or make of trap while it is working. Equipment 1. Sensor chamber fitted immediately upstream of the trap (close coupled), the same size as the trap. 2. Indicator with cable. 3. Where the sensor chamber is not readily accessible, a Remote Test Point may be fitted at a convenient position, wired back through a junction to the sensor chamber. Remote Test Points for either one chamber or up to 12 chambers, are available. 4. An Automatic Remote Test Point, capable of interfacing with most Building Management Systems, is also available allowing up to 16 steam traps to be continuously scanned for steam wastage.
