Pressure / temperature limits (ISO 6552)

Description The FTC32 is a carbon steel ball float steam trap with integral automatic thermostatic air vent. It is ideal for all process drainage applications as condensate is always removed efficiently and quickly over a wide range of fluctuating pressure and load conditions. Standard connections are horizontal from right to left (R-L) when viewed from the base. Capsule The BP99/32 capsule which is used in the FTC32 ball float steam trap is suitable for use on 150 ° C superheat @ 0 bar g and 50 ° C superheat @ 32 bar g. Standards This product fully complies with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and carries the CE mark when so required. Certification This product is available with certification to EN 10204 3.1. Note: All certification / inspection requirements must be stated at the time of order placement. Sizes and pipe connections ½ " and ¾ " screwed BSP and NPT. ½ " and ¾ " socket weld to BS 3799 Class 3000 and ASME (ANSI) B16.11 Class 3000. DN15 and DN20 flanged to EN 1092 PN40, ASME (ANSI) B16.5 Class 150 and 300, JIS/KS 20K and 30K. Optional extras The FTC32 is also available with horizontal connections having flow from left to right - FTC32 (L-R) , and vertical flow both downwards and upwards - FTC32V . The trap is available with either ASTM or DIN body material. An optional manually adjustable needle valve can be fitted to all versions which provides a steam lock release feature in addition to the air vent - FTC32-C . An optional internal strainer screen is available - FTC32X . An internal non-return valve is available - FTC32CV .
