Armstrong traps are offered in two types for heating service, "standard"* traps and "blast" traps. Standard traps are used for dripping headers and unit heaters where little air is to be handled. Where large volumes of air must be removed
quickly, the blast trap is available.
The "Blast" Type Trap--The stand ard Armstrong trap can easily be furnished
as a "blast" type trap by the use of "a thermic bucket. The air handling capacity
of this bucket is approximately 100 times as great as with the regular air vent.
Simplicity-- The Armstrong Steam Trap has only two moving parts--the valve lever assembly and the inverted
bucket. Friction is practically eliminated in this mechanism. All wearing parts are
made from nickel chrome steel except the discharge valve and seat which are made from a special chrome steel heat treated after machining to obtain maximum hardness and toughness.
Avoid Steam Trap Troubles--The intermittent action of this trap and the metal used in the valves stop scoring and wire-drawing, the common sources of
leakage. Air-binding is impossible because the air passes out of the bucket ahead of
the steam through the vent at the top. When the trap is discharging, the flow of
water under the bottom of the bucket prevents the accumulation of any dirt or sediment.
Large Capacity--Discharge orifices
used in Armstrong traps are very large in

proportion to the size of the pipe con
nections. Armstrong trap capacity ratings are not
theoretical but show actual test capacities when handling condensate at steam tem perature. The effect of flash steam and
pipe friction to and from the trap is thus automatically taken into consideration.
Service Organization -- The satis-
factory operation of all Armstrong traps is assured by 44 district representatives in the United States, Canada and Hawaii. Stocks of these traps are carried in nearly
100 leading cities.
