What is a steam trap? What are the key performance indicators for steam traps?

A steam trap is a valve that automatically removes condensate from steam lines and steam-using equipment and prevents steam leaks.
There are nine performance metrics for steam traps: body strength, operational performance, minimum operating pressure, maximum operating pressure, maximum backpressure ratio, steam leakage rate, air venting capacity, discharge temperature, and discharge volume.
