Start with the test

A hot trap is a reason to investigate, not proof of failure. Record the trap, service, operating condition and selected test method.

Build the business case

Use your pressure, operating hours and steam cost. Then decide whether the next action is testing, repair, coverage or a broader steam project.

Check incentives early

Some Québec steam-trap programs may support qualifying work. Confirm enrolment, supplier and documentation requirements before a purchase order is issued.
