Description

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.
