Steam Line Mountings
Essential components for safe, efficient, and reliable operation of your steam distribution network
Submit your enquirySteam Line Mountings encompass a range of essential components such as strainers, check valves, pressure gauges, and safety valves, which are crucial for the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of any steam distribution system.
These accessories protect equipment, ensure proper flow direction, allow for visual inspection, monitor system parameters, and prevent over-pressurisation, collectively contributing to system integrity, energy conservation, and operational safety. While boilers and steam traps are fundamental, the seamless operation of a steam system relies heavily on the proper functioning of its various "mountings." These components are strategically installed along steam lines to perform critical functions. For instance, strainers protect sensitive equipment from debris; check valves prevent backflow; pressure gauges enable monitoring of system pressure; and safety valves act as crucial safeguards against over-pressurisation. Thermax offers a comprehensive range of these high-quality mountings, designed to ensure the integrity, efficiency, and safety of the entire steam network.
Key Industries/Applications:
- Industries: All industries that generate, distribute, or utilise steam, including power generation, chemical, petrochemical, food & beverage, textile, paper, manufacturing, and commercial facilities
- Applications:
- Strainers: Protecting steam traps, control valves, pumps, and other sensitive equipment from dirt and debris
- Check valves: Preventing backflow in condensate return lines, pump discharge lines, and steam headers
- Pressure gauges: Monitoring steam pressure at various points for operational control and safety
- Safety valves: Providing crucial over-pressure protection for boilers, pressure vessels, and steam lines
- Isolation valves (e.g., gate/globe valves): For shutting off sections of the line for maintenance or operational control
Technical data
- Product capacity / performance range: Available in a wide range of sizes (DN (nominal diameter)/NPS (nominal pipe size), pressure classes (PN (pressure nominal)/ class), and temperature ratings to suit diverse steam system requirements; performance characteristics (e.g., filtration micron size for strainers, cracking pressure for check valves) vary by component type
- Compliance or standards: Manufactured to international standards such as ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), API (American Petroleum Institute), BS (British Standards), DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung – German Institute for Standardisation), and relevant material specifications (e.g., ASTM – American Society for Testing and Materials), ensuring high quality, reliability, and safety
- Design, flexibility or customisation:
- Materials: Available in various materials like cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steels for compatibility with steam, condensate, and specific fluid chemistries
- Connections: Flanged, screwed, or welded end connections
- Design variations: Different strainer types (Y-type, basket type), check valve types (swing, lift, non-slam), pressure gauge ranges, etc.
- Configuration: Can be supplied individually or as part of pre-fabricated modules for ease of installation
