Product Description
Bimetallic steam traps have the ability to handle large start-up loads. As the system increases in temperature and pressure, the trap’s stacked nickel-chrome bimetallic elements start to expand, allowing for tight shutoff as steam reaches the trap, thus preventing steam loss.
The bimetallic trap offers resistance to water hammer. A titanium valve and seat on high-pressure bimetallic traps ensure extremely long service life in the harsh environment of superheated steam systems.

Applications/Usage & Features
Stainless Steel>
For pressures to 580 psig (40 bar)
For pressures to 250 psig (17 barg) . . . Cold water capacities to 2,850 lb/hr (1,292 kg/hr)
The thermostatic bimetallic steam trap, type WMT-AB stainless steel is designed for pressures to 250 psig (17 barg) Cold water Start-Up Capacities to 2,850 lb/hr. (1,292 kg/hr.) This trap adjusts automatically to flow rates, including start-up loads, at all pressures within its range.
The WM-AB is targeted for light load tracing applications in chemical plants and refineries. In some of these applications, condensate return for the tracers is not possible or has not yet been implemented by the customer.
In remote areas of the plant or simply areas where the individual tracer lines are permitted to hang down from the pipe work a lightweight trap is required.
