ISO 5117:2023

This document specifies the production and performance relevant test requirements for automatic steam traps used for condensate removal/recovery services for optimized utilization of energy, in refinery, power generation or other general applications where steam is used as a medium of heat transfer. The tests can be classified as production tests and performance characteristic tests and can be conducted to ensure the correct functioning of a steam trap or to evaluate the performance of a particular design. This document specifies the tests performed relative to each one of these two categories and briefly describes the corresponding test methods.
