Steam traps are provided in steam carrying pipelines to_________________?
Correct answer: D. Remove condensate and inert gases
- A. Condense steam
- B. Release excess steam pressure by bleeding steam
- C. None of these
- D. Remove condensate and inert gases
Explanation
Steam traps automatically discharge condensate and usually remove non-condensable gases while retaining live steam in the line. They are not primarily used to bleed excess steam pressure.
