The MST21 is a maintainable balanced pressure thermostatic
steam trap designed for relatively small condensate loads usually
associated with instrument tracing applications. It is manufactured
in stainless steel and is corrosion resistant and easily maintainable.
Available types
MST21 Standard capacity for tracing loads (standard unit)
MST21H High capacity for special applications
Note: When placing an order always state the capsule fill.
Capsule fill and operation
Standard capsules are marked with the letter 'STD' for operation at
approximately 10°C below steam saturation temperature.
Optionally the capsule can be supplied for sub cooled 'SUB'
operation at approximately 22°C below steam saturation
temperature or a 'NTS' fill capsule for operation at approximately 4°C
below steam saturation temperature.
Standards
This product fully complies with the requirements of the European
Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
Certification
This product is available with a manufacturers' Typical Test Report.
Note: All certification / inspection requirements must be stated at the
time of order placement.
