Steam trap inspectionwith guided results

Identify leaking, blocked or malfunctioning steam traps with a software-guided inspection workflow. Trap Sense is available in beta on request and combines acoustic and temperature measurements.

Thermostatic steam trap

Defective steam traps can have a wide variety of consequences

  • Losses of energy and additional costs
  • Pressure increase in condensate networks
  • Danger of water hammer
  • Increased risk of accidents

Regular inspection of steam traps is therefore important in order to detect defects and avoid high energy losses in steam systems

An Example

Leaking steam trap (DN 15, 6 bar) causes leak rate of 20 kg/h. Steam production costs: EUR 35/ton, Operating hours: 8,400h/year. This single leak causes annual costs of approx. 6,000 EUR/year.

The solution

Regular inspection of steam traps with our smart and mobile inspection system Valve Sense - equipped with the Trap Sense App

Combination of temperature and acoustic measurements

With the help of temperature and ultrasound measurements, malfunctions of steam traps in your system are effectively detected. At the moment you still need your own temperature measuring device.

Software guided inspection process

Like for valve inspection we guide the user step by step through the inspection process, just follow the instructions on the screen.

Immediate results on site

The Senseven App provides immediate results on site, providing information on: functional, leaking and blocked steam traps as well as condensate overflow.

All data structurally stored in the Senseven Backoffice

All data is also immediately transferred to the Senseven Backoffice. See all inspections and historic data in the platform and derive actions for maintenance activities.

Steam traps sit where they are hard to reach: outdoors on gravel, under grating, wrapped in insulation. These are inspections in exactly those places — the line stays in service throughout.
