SCOPE

This design guide1 specifies the data required for the selection of process steam traps. 2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES

The mechanical process section is responsible for performing the duties described and for supplying the data listed in Section 3.0. 3.0 DISCUSSION

The piping specification engineer supplies tag numbers and sizes for steam traps. For process steam traps, the mechanical process project supervising engineer completes form ENG-MP-11 (Exhibit 1), and sends a print to the piping materials engineer. Line 1 - List tag number as shown on the piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID). Line 2 - Give the line number in which the trap is installed. Line 3 - List P&ID and section to assist in locating the trap. Line 4 - List the fluid in the line (e.g., steam condensate or boiler blowdown). Line 5 - Show the load to the trap, pound/hour or gpm. Line 6 - List equilibrium temperature at condensing conditions (condensate temperature). Line 7 - List maximum steam pressure and normal operating pressure, pounds per square inch gauge (psig). Line 8 - List the maximum pressure downstream of the trap, normally the condensate return system pressure, psig. Line 9 - Show liquid specific gravity at inlet temperature (top). Show liquid specific gravity at condensate conditions (bottom). Drip-leg-steam-line traps and similar kinds of traps are completely specified by the piping specification project supervising engineer.
