APM Steam: Steam Trap Surveys


The steam trap surveys test and inventory hospital steam traps using ultrasound and temperature differentials. Technicians document trap condition, location, application, pressure, temperatures, model, pipe size and installation details, while evaluating associated valves, strainers and bypasses for repair-access or shutdown concerns. Each trap receives a numbered stainless-steel tag. Reports identify failed units and quantify replacement costs, energy losses, utility incentives and project payback.
