Several factors must be considered when selecting the appropriate steam trap, but the primary factors are as follows:

  1. Select different types of steam traps according to the specific application.
  2. Select the appropriate connection size based on actual operating conditions.
  3. Select a steam trap with appropriate pressure and temperature ratings based on the actual operating conditions.
  4. Based on the potential condensate volume generated by steam heating equipment during normal operation, multiply by a selection factor of 2 to 4, then select the trap based on its actual discharge capacity.
