The Spirax Sarco BT6 thermostatic balanced pressure steam trap is designed to remove condensate from hygienic and sanitary steam systems with minimal backing up. Applications include sterile steam barriers, block and bleed systems, drainage of steam distribution lines, process vessels and CIP/SIP systems. Manufactured in 316L stainless steel with a crevis free body, it is self-draining and operates close to steam temperature. Where very high capacities exist or where CIP fluids are used in the process the BT6HC is recommended - See TI-P180-13 for further details. Traps are individually packaged with protective end caps and sealed in a polythene bag.
Surface finish
All internal wetted surfaces have a finish of 0.8 µm (32 micro-inch Ra). Surface finish of 0.4 µm (16 micro-inch Ra) can be supplied on request by electro-polishing.
Options
Electro-polishing of internal surfaces to 0.4 µm (16 micro-inch Ra). Fixed bleed to ensure fail open operation. Special connections to suit most piping systems.
Standards
The BT6 fully complies with the ASME BPE, where applicable. It also complies with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
The seal complies with FDA CFR title 21, paragraph 177, section 1550. All wetted parts of this trap are constructed from FDA/3-A approved materials.
