Valve pressure rating is one of the primary parameters used to determine whether a valve can safely operate in a specific piping system. In industrial applications, pressure class does not simply represent the maximum working pressure of a valve. The actual pressure capability depends on the pressure-temperature rating defined by standards such as ASME B16.34, as well as valve materials, design co...

Steam trap sizing is not simply a matter of matching the pipe connection or multiplying the normal condensate load by two. A trap must pass the required load at the lowest differential pressure likely to occur, while its operating principle must suit the equipment, air-removal requirement, return system and start-up conditions. This distinction explains why a trap with ample catalogue capacity can...
