Valsteam ADCA Stainless Steel Ultrasonic Steam Trap Tester

The Valsteam ADCA 551094 is a stainless‑steel ultrasonic steam trap tester engineered to sense internal failures and steam leaks in industrial steam systems. It features a pistol‑style housing, a contact (stethoscope) module, a headset, and a carrying case, making it a full-featured portable inspection kit. Rated for ambient operation up to +50 °C, the detector supports proactive maintenance of steam‑trap networks and improves system efficiency.

Core Capabilities of the Valsteam Ultrasonic Steam Trap Tester

• Stainless‑steel sensor and body components support durability in industrial environments.
• Visual LED bar graph and audible warble tone simplify the indication of leaks and malfunctioning traps.
• Hand‑held pistol‑style design with modular contact probe and headset enables flexible inspection access.
• Battery‑powered (9 V alkaline) operation supports portability and on‑site diagnostics.
• Frequency response centred around 28‑42 kHz enhances detection sensitivity to steam and gas flows.
• Case included for organised transport and protection of instrument components.

Designed for Precision Steam‑System Diagnostics

This ultrasonic tester is engineered for reliable detection of poorly performing steam traps, internal leakage, and steam system inefficiencies. This device helps maintenance teams analyse defective traps before they cause energy loss, corrosion, or equipment downtime. With compact dimensions (~114 × 200 × 48 mm) and a rugged carry case included, the unit is ready for industrial site use.

Typical Uses of the Tester

• Periodic maintenance inspections of steam‑trap networks in HVAC, process, and power generation plants.
• Leak detection in steam distribution lines, valves and fittings.
• Commissioning of new steam systems to validate trap performance and system tightness.
• Energy‑audit programmes aiming to reduce steam losses and improve plant efficiency.
• Mobile or field‑service tool for service engineers working on maintenance contracts or reliability‑improvement projects.
