INTERPLANT STANDARD — STEEL INDUSTRY ‘SPECIFICATION FOR STEAM TRAP IPSS : 1-06-021-86 IP. aS CORRESPONDING INDIAN STANDARD DOES NOT EXIST 0. Foreword 0.1 Interplant standardization activity in steel industry is being pursued under the aegis of the Indian Standards Institution (ISI) and the Stee! Authority of India Limited (SAIL). This Interplant Standard, prepared by the Subcommittee on Pipes, Fittings, Valves and Piping Layout, IPSS 1:6 with the active participation of the representatives of all the steal plants, and established manu- facturers_of steam traps, was adopted by the Approval Committee on Consumable Stores and General Equipment, IPSS 1, on 14 October 1986, 0.2 Interplant Standards for steel industry primarily aim at achieving rationalization and unification of parts and sub-assemblies used in steel plant equipment and accessories and provide guidance in indenting stores or equipment for existing or new installations by individual steel plants. For ‘exercising effective control on the inventories, it is advisable to select a fewer number of 8 ) from among the products mentioned in this standard for the purpose of company st of individual steel plants. It is not desirable to make deviations in technical 1. Scope — This Interplant Standard covers the requi 2. Types — The steam traps shall be of following types: a) Type A— Cast steel float traps (up to 31 kg/cm*) pressure, 425°C temperature with IBR approval ); 'b) Type B — Cast iron float traps ( up to 14 kg/em* ) at 200°C without IBR certificate and for applications where Cl material is acceptable; ©) Type C — Thermo dynamic steam traps; 4) Type D — Thermo static balanced pressure type steam traps ( up to 17 kg/em? ); and ©) Type & — Inverted, buckets type steam trap (pressurestemperature rating : 1125 kg/em 3.

Technical Requirements 5.4. Special Requirements for Steam Traps, Type A i) Traps shall be provided with inbuilt strainer; ji) Traps shall_have high air venting capacity through auxiliary balanced pressure air-vent, which is self adjusting for varying steam pressure; ill) Traps shall have high thermal efficiency at both light and heavy loads: All end connections are screwed B.S.P.T; iv) Continuous modulating discharge should not create pressure disturbances; V) Traps shall have steam lock release facility; vi) Traps should have fair resistance to pulsating loads, water hammer and vibrations; vii) Traps shall have blast discharge and clean cut off; vill) Traps should be uneffected by change in inlet press; and ix) LB. approval test certificate is essential 5.2 Special Requirements for Steam Traps, Type B ‘Same as cast steel float traps, that is, Type A, except the requirement given in 5.1(ix) 5.3 Special Requirements for Steam Traps, Type C a) Condensate entry under the disc should be concentric to ensure even wear on trim, and b) Other conditions are same as float traps. 5.4 Special Requirements for Steam Traps, Type 0 — Same as float traps of Types A and B given in 5.1 and 5.2,IPSS : 1-06-021-86 6. Hydrostatic Test 6.1 Hydrostatic test pressure for body should be twice the maximum working pressure in the case of steam traps Types A and B. 6.2 Hydrostatic test pressure should be 14 to 2 times the maximum working pressure incase of steam traps Types C and D. 1.
