There are many factors to consider when selecting the right steam trap, but the main ones are as follows:

  1. Select the appropriate type of steam trap based on the specific application;
  2. Select the appropriate connection size based on actual operating conditions;
  3. Select a steam trap with the appropriate pressure and temperature ratings based on the actual operating conditions;
  4. Based on the amount of condensate that may be generated by the steam heating equipment during normal operation, multiply this figure by a selection factor of 2 to 4, and then select a steam trap based on its actual drainage capacity.
