Operational Check
A visual inspection of the following items should be done on a daily basis to determine
whether the product is operating properly or has failed. Periodically the operation
should also be checked by using diagnostic equipment such as a stethoscope,
thermometer, TLV Pocket TrapMan or TLV TrapMan.
If the product should fail, it may cause damage to piping and equipment, resulting in
faulty or low quality products or losses due to steam leakage.

continuous metallic sound.
Steam Leakage : Live steam is discharged through the trap outlet together with
condensate, accompanied by a high-pitched sound.
