The Spirax Sarco
BT6-B sanitary balanced pressure thermostatic steam
trap is designed to remove condensate from clean 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 body is self draining and
available with a surface finish of up to 0.4 µm (16
micro-inch Ra).
The standard
element is extremely sensitive to changes in
condensate temperature and is designed to open with
a minimum of sub-cooling, less than 3.6˚F (2°C) from
steam saturation temperature at pressures below 36
psig (2.5 barg) for typical operating conditions.
Exact operating performance may be affected by
operating pressure, installation and ambient
conditions.
A high capacity
version is available for high condensate loads or
where CIP/SIP fluids are used.
Each trap is
individually packaged within a 'clean' environment
with protective end caps and sealed in a protective
plastic bag.
Surface Finish
All internal wetted
surfaces have a finish of 0.6 µm (25 micro-inch Ra).
Options
-
Mechanical and Electro-polishing to 0.375 µm (15
micro-inch Ra).
-
PFTE
encapsulated Viton seal can be supplied for
dairy applications.
-
Special
connections to suit most piping systems.

Pressure/Temperature Limits |
|
 |
|
The BT6 MUST NOT be used in this region. |
|
|
The BT6 should not be used in this region as
damage to the internals may occur. |
|
Note: For hygienic/sanitary clamp
ends, the maximum pressure/temperature may
be restricted by the gasket or sanitary
clamp used. Please
Contact STI. |
