Sanitary Steam Traps are designed to offer free flow-through internal passages by incorporating very smooth internal finishes (20-25 Ra). For periodic passivation and sanitation of the system, these traps offer a tri-clamp connection on the body to allow for removal of the thermal element.
Clean Steam Traps are steam traps designed for similar functionality as the sanitary traps, but do not offer the same level of surface finish .
The FDA300 Series high capacity thermostatic steam traps are used on clean steam applications, and for condensate drainage on CIP (Clean in Place)/SIP (Sanitize in Place) systems and various process vessels. This trap is designed for installation in a vertical, downward flow orientation to ensure that the self-draining clean steam requirement is satisfied. Trap contains a welded 316L stainless steel thermal element that expands when heated and contracts when cooled. When air and condensate are present, the trap is in the open discharge position. When steam reaches the trap, the element expands, closing the trap tightly. Electro-polish finish of 20-25 microinches RA on internal body and Electro-polish finish of 25-32 microinches Ra on external body.
