AYVAZ SK-51 Float Steam Trap Spare Gasket 1/2''-3/4''
AYVAZ SK-51 Float Steam Trap Spare Gasket 1/2''-3/4'': Critical Part Preventing Steam Leakage
The AYVAZ SK-51 Float Steam Trap Replacement Gasket is a vital spare part for ensuring the most efficient operation of steam systems. By sealing the seat, the primary sealing point of steam traps, it prevents valuable steam from escaping into the condensate line, preventing energy waste.
What is a Float Steam Trap Spare Gasket and What Does It Do?
The Float Steam Trap Replacement Gasket is an elastomeric or thermoplastic component that provides sealing between the discharge valve and the seat inside the steam trap. It is manufactured specifically for AYVAZ SK-51 series float steam traps and is compatible with models with diameters of 1/2" (DN15) to 3/4" (DN20) .
Main Functions of the Float Steam Trap Replacement Gasket:
Preventing Steam Leakage: It prevents the valve from closing completely and steam from leaking after the condensate is discharged.
Protecting System Efficiency: Prevents energy loss due to steam leakage (live steam loss).
Maintenance and Repair: It allows the valve to be repaired by replacing only the worn seal without having to replace the steam trap itself, which reduces operating costs.
Features of AYVAZ SK-51 Float Steam Trap Spare Gasket:
Compatible Model: AYVAZ SK-51 Float Steam Traps.
Diameter Compatibility: Compatible with DN15 (1/2 inch) and DN20 (3/4 inch) steam trap models.
Material: Produced from special PTFE (Teflon) or similar thermoplastic/elastomer materials resistant to high temperature, steam and pressure.
Durability: Provides long-lasting performance on the sealing surface exposed to continuous high temperature and pressure cycles.
Why Does a Steam Trap Require Maintenance?
While float traps are reliable because they provide continuous condensate drainage, the moving parts and seals within them wear out over time. A worn seal allows steam to escape. Therefore, timely replacement of replacement seals is critical preventative maintenance for maintaining the efficiency of steam installations.
