Steam Traps

Sterling steam traps have low, medium, and high pressure for a range of applications. Our steam traps are designed for maximum resistance of high temperatures and abrasion while offering easy installation and minimal maintenance.

Types of Steam Traps Manufactured

Float & Thermostatic Steam Traps- Float & Thermostatic traps are preferred for efficient, economical vacuum and pressure service. F & T traps are highly recommended for applications where large volumes of air are present on start-up and where condensing rates can vary widely. F & T traps are ideal for service in health care institutions, apartments, educational facilities, offices and other public areas as well as in business and industry. F & T traps operate in response to rising and falling condensate levels and rising and falling temperatures near thermostatic vent.

Thermostatic Radiators Traps - Sterlco® low-pressure steam traps- except 7-15 has valve cones of long wearing tobin bronze and seats of brass. All other have stainless steel cones and seats for maximum resistance of high temperatures and abrasion.

Inverted Bucket Steam Traps- On start up, the bucket, by its own weight, rests on the trap bottom. The main valve is open, allowing the discharge of air and non-condensables. As condensate fills the body, it creates a seal on the open end of the bucket, which then becomes buoyant and rises, closing the main valve discharge. Condensate, however, continues to enter the trap and force the air through the vent hole, causing it to lose its buoyancy and sink, opening the main valve to discharge. Condensate is discharge until steam reaches the trap and fills the bucket, which regains its buoyancy and the operating cycle is repeated.

In addition to steam traps, steam control products, and cooling products, Sterling offers temperature control units, granulators and shredders, robots and sprue pickers, material processing equipment, and steam control products.
