Ball float steam trap FT47

for steam and condensate systems with automatic venting

Data sheet

Product information

The FT47 is a robust ball float steam trap made of ductile iron for the reliable drainage of large quantities of condensate in steam and condensate systems. It is suitable for horizontal and vertical installation positions and offers integrated automatic venting for maximum operational safety.

Special features

  • Ball float technology – jam-free steam trap even with changing loads
  • Automatic venting – for safe start-up of the system
  • Options:
    FT47V for vertical installation position
    FT47-C with integrated bypass valve (up to 21 bar)
  • Flexible connection types – flanges to EN 1092 PN40 or ASME B16.5 Class 150
  • Certification – EN 10204 (2.2 or 3.1), pressure equipment directive-compliant

Variants

  • FT47 – Standard version for horizontal installation position
  • FT47V – for vertical installation position
  • FT47-C – with integrated bypass valve for start-up conditions

Advantages

  • Large condensate volumes – ideal for high-load areas
  • Independent of back pressure – more reliable than thermal arresters
  • Robust construction – durable, TÜV-certified foundry for DN50
  • Easy maintenance – spare parts available, no disassembly of the pipeline required

Areas of application

  • Steam systems with high condensate volumes
  • Chemical and petrochemical industry
  • Power plants and energy systems
  • Process steam systems

Steam traps and plant engineering – Steam traps as system components for SKID units

Armaturenfabrik valves Steam traps, SKID process plants Pipe insulation Angle seat valves and automatic pneumatic control valves

Steam traps are much more than just drainage fittings – they are indispensable functional elements in modern steam, energy and process systems. In SKID systems, they are responsible for the safe, efficient and load-dependent drainage of condensate, thus ensuring trouble-free operation, constant energy efficiency and the protection of sensitive components.


Especially in compact, modular system packages, steam traps must work reliably, handle different pressures and temperatures and be flexibly integrated into any installation situation.
Our steam traps – including thermal versions with diaphragm regulators such as the MK45 from GESTRA – are used as integral system components in SKID and process plant construction and ensure maximum operational reliability even under demanding conditions.
