Steam Trap Sizing

This document discusses the estimation of condensate load and sizing of steam traps for open systems. It examines steam traps for open systems where condensate is discharged to a condensate header or to grade. For each system, it considers factors like the distance between drip legs, back pressure, wind velocity, efficiency, condensate load, and capacity to determine the appropriate steam trap type based on specifications.
