BT6-B and BT6-B Food+ Sanitary Balanced Pressure Thermostatic Steam Trap
Description The Spirax Sarco BT6-B sanitary balanced pressure thermostatic steam trap is designed to remove condensate from clean (Chemical- Free) and pure steam applications with minimal condensate retention. Applications include sterile steam barriers, block and bleed installations, mains drainage and CIP/SIP of vessels and reactors and process lines. Manufactured in 316L, the crevice free body design of the BT6-B incorporates a 15° angled seat to ensure full drainability. The standard element is extremely sensitive to changes in condensate temperature and is designed to open within 2 °C (4 °F) nominal sub-cooling of steam saturation temperature at 50 mm (2") above the trap and at pressures below 2.4 bar g (35 psi g) for typical operating conditions. Exact operating performance may be affected by operating pressure, installation and ambient conditions. Each trap is individually packaged within an ISO CLASS 7 'clean' environment with protective end caps and sealed in a protective plastic bag. BT6-B Food+ Designed, manufactured and approved for Steam and Condensate applications. This product complies with EC1935:2004 Food Contact Materials. It also complies with regulation EC2023:2006 on good manufacturing practice for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. A list of the materials that could come directly or indirectly into contact with foodstuffs can be found in the Declaration of Compliance available for this product.
