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 in ductile iron for the reliable discharge of large condensate quantities in steam and condensate systems. It is suitable for horizontal and vertical installation positions and offers integrated automatic air venting for maximum operational reliability.

Special features

  • Ball float technology – backup-free condensate discharge even under varying loads
  • Automatic air venting – for safe start-up of the plant
  • Optionen:
    FT47V for vertical installation
    FT47-C with an 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), compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive

Versions

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

Advantages

  • Integrated automatic air venting
  • Five pressure ratings: 4.5, 10, 14, 21 and 32 bar
  • Body in ductile iron
  • Maintenance without removal from the pipeline

Areas of application

  • Condensate discharge in steam plants from DN 15 to DN 50
  • Horizontal and vertical flow with the FT47V
  • Systems with a differential pressure from 4.5 to 32 bar
  • TÜV tested version in DN 50

Selection and installation

The pressure rating must match the actual differential pressure: a rating chosen too high will not open cleanly at low pressure. Five ratings from 4.5 to 32 bar are available; the vertical version is called FT47V.

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.
