Описание (английский):

Establishes a simple classification of the main types according to the mode of actuation of their obturation device and disregarding their details of conception and construction. Three categories of steam traps can be distinguished: mechanical traps, actuated by the level of condensate; thermostatic traps, actuated by the temperature of the condensate; thermodynamic traps, actuated by fluid dynamics.

Overview

EN 26704:1991 (identical to ISO 6704:1982) provides a simple, functional classification of automatic steam traps based on the mode of actuation of their obturation device. The standard’s scope is limited to grouping the main types-without prescribing detailed design, construction or performance requirements-and it is intended to standardize terminology and classification across industry and standards bodies.

Key topics

Purpose: establish a clear, technology‑neutral steam trap classification according to actuation method.

Main categories:

Mechanical traps - actuated by condensate level (e.g., closed float, open-top/bucket float, inverted float).
Thermostatic traps - actuated by condensate temperature (e.g., vapour‑pressure traps, bimetallic/thermoelastic traps, liquid/solid expansion traps).
Thermodynamic traps - actuated by fluid dynamics and pressure differences (e.g., obturator traps, impulse/piston traps, labyrinth orifice traps).

Key concepts and terms: automatic steam trap, obturator, seat, pressure chamber, orifice, fluid flow direction, condensate behaviour.

References to related ISO standards: ISO 6552 (terminology), ISO 6553 (marking), ISO 6554 (flanged trap dimensions).

Diagrams: the standard uses schematic sketches to illustrate each trap type and its operating principle.

Applications

EN 26704:1991 is primarily a classification and reference document that supports practical use cases such as:

Specifying trap type in steam system design and piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).

Communicating requirements between engineers, manufacturers and procurement teams when selecting traps for steam distribution, process heating, HVAC and industrial steam systems.

Training and documentation for maintenance and reliability teams to recognize trap families (mechanical, thermostatic, thermodynamic) and their typical operating behavior.

Harmonizing national and international standards references used by standards committees, certification bodies and technical authors.

ISO 6552, ISO 6553, ISO 6554 - referenced for terminology, marking and dimensional guidance

National adoptions (example: SIST EN 26704:2000) reflect CEN/ISO transposition

This classification-focused standard is a practical reference for correctly identifying and specifying automatic steam traps by actuation principle, improving clarity across procurement, design and maintenance workflows in steam-using industries.
