Measurement Instrumentation for Steam Trap Monitoring in Life Sciences
Reduce energy costs and eliminate the risk of manual inspections at the facility with steam trap monitoring solutions.
Enhanced visibility into asset health and performance
In the life sciences industry, tracking steam trap health and performance is a difficult but necessary task. Audits of steam traps are typically performed once a year and in these audits as many as 30% of steam straps may be out of service. This lack of visibility into steam trap health leaves manufacturers vulnerable for long periods of time and at risk to high energy costs. Emerson's solutions for steam trap monitoring provide manufacturers with a concise yet actionable summary on asset health for making informed maintenance decisions. This enables better and faster decision making, reduces energy loss, and helps eliminate manual rounds at the facility.

Featuring ultrasonic acoustic event detection that mounts externally, the Rosemount™ 708 Wireless Acoustic Transmitter offers a fast, cost effective installation. This device allows visibility into steam traps and pressure relieve valves (PRVs) by accurately communicating acoustic level and temperature data as well as device data, event status and leak detection via the
WirelessHART® network. The Steam Trap Monitor software (optional) provides real-time information about steam trap conditions, energy usage and emissions.
- Detects and transmits acoustic level and temperature data to increase visibility and monitor steam traps and PRV’s
- Directly mounts to process piping without cutting or changing pipe configurations for flexible, simple installation
- Steam Trap Monitoring software (optional) provides critical, real-time information on steam trap conditions
