Wireless steam trap monitoring

STAPS Wireless steam trap monitoring
The STAPS wireless steam trap monitoring system has been designed to efficiently monitor and evaluate steam trap operation.
It surveys the operation of the steam trap at regular intervals and identifies poor performance that can cause reduced plant efficiency
and increased energy consumption.
It can diagnose both failed-open steam traps that leak live steam and those that have failed-closed or are blocked that result in waterlogging leading to plant damage, product spoilage and health and safety concerns.
Using non-intrusive installation technology combined with a 2.4 GHz wireless network, it is an ideal solution for steam trap monitoring.
It is suitable for use with all types of steam trap and can be connected to pipework up to 100 mm (4″), via an adjustable clamp.

Total acoustic performance solutions

The STAPS Wireless steam trap monitor from Spirax Sarco has been designed for easy, non-intrusive installation with accurate wireless monitoring and reporting to help improve your steam system performance.

Hassle-free monitoring without cables
With energy targets set out by governments and authorities, as well as the pressing need to reduce costs, monitoring the performance of equipment in industry is more important than ever.
The monitoring of steam trapping equipment has previously been a potentially time consuming and costly task, with productivity interrupted by the installation of power and data lines.
These issues are eliminated with the new STAPS Wireless steam trap monitor.
STAPS Wireless simply clamps on to a pipe, it requires no power cables or data lines.
It is powered by a long life battery and transmits the data from the head unit back to the receiver, via a wireless signal, where the data can be fully interrogated using our purpose built software package.

  • Reduces the need for on-going manual inspection, saving you time and money
  • Significantly faster commissioning than a wired alternative for lower installation costs
  • Clamp on design therefore no need to cut into the pipework
  • Rapid leak detection
  • Non-intrusive therefore it’s easier to deploy almost anywhere
  • Extends monitoring to remote and hard to access areas of the plant such as high
  • level pipe racks
  • Low maintenance solution, powered by long-life battery
  • Low transmission signal strength ensures minimal risk of interference with other systems
  • Suitable for use across a wide range of applications, can be used with pressures of up to 46 bar g and temperatures of up to 425°C*
  • Uses universally accepted frequency of 2.4 GHz
  • High accuracy algorithm created by Spirax Sarco that detects traps that are leaking or cold.
