The BT6-B 316L stainless steel balanced pressure steam trap is specifically designed for hygienic applications including sterile barriers, CIP/SIP, automatic drainage of steam filter housings, sterilisers and autoclaves, bioreactor sterilisation trapping, and clean steam mains drainage.Element is designed to open with a minimum of sub-cooling, typically less than 2 °C from steam saturation temperature at 50mm above the trap thus ensuring a rapid response and reduction in cooling leg.The body is crevice free, self draining and available with a surface finish of up to 0.4 µm (16 micro-inch Ra).A high capacity version is available for high condensate loads or where CIP/SIP fluids are used.
Description
The Spirax Sarco BT6-B sanitary balanced pressure thermostatic steam trap is designed toremove condensate from clean and pure steam applications with minimal condensateretention. Applications include sterile steam barriers, block and bleed installations, mainsdrainage and CIP/SIP of vessels and reactors and process lines. Manufactured in 316L, thecrevice free body design of the BT6-B incorporates a 15° angled seat to ensure full drainability.The standard element is extremely sensitive to changes in condensate temperature and is designed to open within 2 °C nominalsub-cooling of steam saturation temperature at 50mm above the trap and at pressures below 2.4 bar g for typical operatingconditions. Exact operating performance may be affected by operating pressure, installation and ambient conditions. Each trap isindividually packaged within an ISO CLASS 7 'clean' environment with protective end caps and sealed in a protective plastic bag.
