Factory Management in the 21st Century.

Fundamental issues facing management will include:

Why is steam trap management so important ?

MaximizingThe Performance of Steam Process Plant.

Developing Total ProductiveMaintenance (TPM) through:

Establishing an effectivemaintenance system.

Achieving goals set forpreventive maintenance.

Improving Efficiency by:

Saving energy. Setting and achieving standards

in control.

Satisfying EnvironmentalConcerns, such as:

Meeting the requirements ofISO 14001 certification.

The reduction of CO2 emissions.

The role of steam trapsIt is incredible, but nevertheless fact, that the performance of such a relatively small and seemingly insignificantcomponent, the steam trap, can have dramatic consequences on the operation of a steam system.

Faulty or incorrectly applied steam traps will: Turn a well designed steam system into a safety hazard, with the potential risk of injury to operatives.

Reduce the efficiency of production.

Give rise to quality problems in the product being manufactured.

Increase the cost of maintenance.

Waste energy: On average, a single faulty trap will lose 12 Ib/hr of steam.

Prevent compliance with required environmental standards.

The Steam Trap Management System will help you toresolve these concerns. The elements of the System are made up of :

Steam Trap Management Systemprovides software, hardware and service that can solve problems in your steam system.

From initial preparations and inspection route planning to final check of results, the

System offers powerful support for managing your steam trap operations. Much

more than the tools themselves, the combined experience of specialist engineers, has led

to the development of the methods for establishing a truly cost effective management system.

Software TrapManager

The Ideal Steam Trap Management Softwarewith a Wealth of FunctionsEstablishing records of the maintenance for any individual steam trap is important for both TPM andconformance to ISO Standards. Using TrapManager, you can create a log, update inspection recordsand receive survey data from TM5 for detailed analysis. TrapManageris also capable of being

configured by the user to meet specific needs.

The Process of Trap Management - Creation and Inspection

Creating Trap Records

The data required for steam trapmanagement -- trap type, size, type of

connection, operating pressure, operating

status, etc. -- can be created and stored inthe management log.

Trap Log Maintenance Screen

Creating Inspection Routes

TrapManagerallows you to determine theinspection route in advance. Then you can

simply download this data to the TM5.

When the inspection of one trap iscomplete, the number for the next trap to

be inspected appears on the TM5 display

screen.

The Process of Trap Management - Results and Analysis

Determining the Results

TrapManagerwill process the data fromTM5 and then present the results in a

number of ways that you can determineyourself. For example, you can tabulate data

for specific conditions and calculate the

failure rate.

Locate Faulty Traps Quickly

All traps whose operation is judged to be

faulty are highlighted in the display, as well

as being presented in a table that appears

automatically when TrapManagerstarts up.

Gathering data is the first step toward

preventive maintenance.

Trap records are automatically saved and

will include the installation and inspection

dates as well as inspection results so thattrap histories are available for future trend

analysis.

You can print the detailed information contained in

trap logs and histories and the analysis results.

You may also copy graphs depicting the analysis

results and paste them into reports, plus export

data easily into other software programs.

You can display the amount of steam

leakage and the resultant monetary losses

for individual traps or for the entire factory.

HARDWARE TM5

Professional Diagnosis in a Single Compact UnitThe TM5 is a precision automatic steam trap analyzer that uses ultrasound and surface temperaturemeasurements to analyze traps. The TM5 is easy to operate -- so a technician can quickly be trainedto use it. It is also light (only 1.9 Ib), so you won't get tired carrying it, even during long inspections.

Automatic analysis in only 15 seconds

The TM5 performs theanalysis automatically. All

you need to do is hold the

probe against the surface

of the trap for 15 seconds.

The TM5 is all you need at the site

Input of data into the TM5is easy -- so other

instruments and pads of

paper for recording

information are not

required.

Intrinsically Safe Model TM5-EX is also available

CULUS: Class, Groups C and D, Temp. code T3C

Allows quantitative analysis

Measurement with the TM5yields quantitative results.For steam leakage measurement, the estimated

amount of steam leakage can be calculated and

displayed as one of 15 leakage levels.

Eliminates variations due to human error

With the TM5, measurements do not vary dependingon who performed the inspection. The tip of the probe

is configured so that it always contacts the trap with

the same pressure, hence the results are always the

same.

Dependable trap analysis

The TM5 uses data obtainedfrom testing over 2,900 individual

steam trap models. The trap

under test is compared to the

stored data of that specific model

and its performance is analyzed.

TrapMan's judgement accuracy

has been validated by Lloyd's

Register.

HARDWARE

A wealth of new functions

A quick one-hour charge allows the TM5 to be used continuously for

10 hours. The leather carrying case fastened to a waist belt prevents the

instrument being dropped and damaged, even when stretching toinspect hard-to-reach traps. This also leaves your hands free forgreater safety and inspection efficiency.

The speed of data transmission has been greatly increased to 19,200bps -- sixteen times that of the TM2 (the previous version).

Expanded memory capacity increases work efficiency. The TM5 canhold up to 3,400 trap codes, up to 30 trap models per trap type,and up to 1,600 items of inspection data.

The new Auto Power OFF function conserves battery power, whileanother new function prevents overcharging.

The package includes the TM5 leather case and theTrapManagersoftware.
