    The document provides a decision tree for testing steam traps. It involves taking upstream temperature measurements, listening to ultrasound signals, and recording dynamic measurements to diagnose whether the trap is failed open, failed closed, or functioning properly. Comparing the collected data to a known good trap allows building a reliable diagnosis and baseline data to analyze the steam trap's condition.
