OBJECT AND SCOPE
This Code covers devices used in removing condensate and non-condensibles from steam systems. It covers devices used for intermittent or continuous removal of fluids such as steam traps, orifices and valves.
The purpose of this Code is to specify and define the practice of conducting tests of condensate removal devices to determine:
(a) Condensate discharge capacity, for specified conditions of saturated and subcooled condensate and back pressure.
(b) Steam loss, under specified conditions.
