SteamExpert - Application-Specific Software for Steam Trap Testing
Defective steam traps have a significant impact on the energy efficiency of a steam system and, in the worst case, can cause dangerous water hammer and unplanned failure. With the SteamExpert app, steam traps of all types and brands can be tested quickly and inexpensively. The app was specially developed for the digital ultrasonic testing device SONAPHONE in combination with the ultrasonic and temperature sensor BS20. The tester is guided intuitively through the test process and at the end has a reliable result on the condition of their steam traps in his hand. In combination with the DataSuite software, the tests can be planned in the form of routes and the results can be comprehensively analyzed and evaluated.
Save 50% time with the SteamExpert app
Measurement of:
- Inlet temperature
- Outlet temperature
- Ultrasound
- Photo documentation and text comments can be stored directly at the measuring point on site
- Reporting directly on the device without PC software
The SteamExpert app significantly speeds up the testing process. It optimizes the measurement process by recording temperatures and ultrasound can be recorded. The logging and evaluation of the measurement is done through simple selection menus, which allows a specific report to be generated on the condition of the steam traps can be generated. This application-specific app reduces the time required compared conventional test equipment by about half.

NEW SteamExpert App - Test and Evaluate Steam Traps Quickly and Inexpensively
Costs of Steam Losses
Experts assume that around 15 to 20 percent of steam generated is lost through leaking steam traps. With only one leaky steam trap (thermodynamic bimetal, DN25, system pressure 11 barg) approx. 22 kg of steam per hour and thus approx. 190 t per year are lost (with 8,400 operating hours per year). With production costs of € 35 / t, this loss adds up to around € 6,600 per year.
