Spiratec ST14, ST16 and ST17 Sensor Chambers and Sensors

Spiratec sensor chamber description The Spiratec trap fault detection system is designed to operate on saturated steam systems only, to indicate whether a steam trap is leaking steam. When combined with the R1C or R16C automatic trap monitor and WLS1 waterlogging sensor assembly, it will detect if a steam trap has failed closed or is blocked. As standard - The sensor chamber has the sensor connection on the right hand side of the chamber when viewed from the direction of flow. If required - Chambers can be supplied with the sensor connections on the left hand side 'L', but must be requested when placing an order, i.e. ½" ST141L. Chambers are available in two configurations: 1. Fitted with an SS1 standard sensor for steam leak detection only. 2. Without a sensor fitted. A WLS1 waterlogging sensor assembly is available separately for steam leak and waterlogging applications. Spiratec sensor description Spiratec sensors are designed to fit into Spiratec sensor chambers as part of the Spiratec trap fault detection system. Available types:

Sensor chamber

SS1 standard sensor: For the detection of steam leaks when used in conjunction with a sensor chamber and a Type 30 or Type 40 hand held indicator, R1C or R16C automatic trap monitor. SS1's are normally supplied already fitted into the sensor chamber. WLS1 waterlogging sensor assembly: For the detection of steam leaks or traps that have failed closed or are blocked when used in conjunction with an R1C or R16C automatic trap monitor. WLS1's are normally supplied as separate items for fitting into a sensor chamber on site. Note: sensor chambers without sensors are available from stock. Optional extras A sensor blanking plug is available at extra cost, to protect the external connection of the SS1 standard sensor chamber from dirt.
