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.
