Frequently Asked Questions

 

How can a customer be sure that their Velan traps will operate as advertised?

Because of the fact that Velan manufacturers steam traps with such a unique technology, every steam trap must be tested before it leaves the factory.  The following tests are performed on every steam trap:

  1. Every steam trap is steam tested to its maximum operating pressure, and visually inspected to assure tight shutoff.
  2. Every steam trap is load tested to ensure that it will discharge at 20°F below saturation temperature.
  3. Every steam trap is hydrostatically tested to twice its operating pressure.
