Leak Detection
Steam Trap Survey
Steam trap testing and failure detection using ultrasonic and thermal methods, informed by our partnership with TLV Japan.
Tests every trap in the system
Stops silent fuel waste
Backed by TLV steam expertise
What We Inspect
Every steam trap in the system, tested with ultrasonic and thermal detection methods.
What We Find
Traps blowing through, failed open, or failed closed — each one silently wasting boiler fuel around the clock.
How It Helps
Identifies exactly which traps need repair before more fuel is lost.
Our Advantage
Reinforced by our principal partnership with TLV, a 70+ year Japanese steam engineering specialist.
A failed steam trap doesn't send an alert. It just keeps blowing fuel into the air, all day, every day, until someone finally checks — which, without a regular survey program, can mean months or years of continuous, invisible waste.
Failed steam traps silently waste boiler fuel around the clock. Our steam trap survey tests every trap in the system using ultrasonic and thermal methods to identify traps that are blowing through, failed open, or failed closed, since each failure mode wastes fuel differently and needs a different fix.
Our steam-trap expertise is reinforced by our principal partnership with TLV — a Japanese manufacturer with 70+ years of steam engineering focus — which means a failed trap we identify can often be replaced with a purpose-built component rather than a generic substitute.

Steam Trap Survey — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a steam trap survey?
It's a survey that tests every steam trap in a system using ultrasonic and thermal methods to identify traps that are blowing through, failed open, or failed closed.
How do steam trap failures cause energy loss?
A failed steam trap doesn't send an alert — it just keeps blowing fuel into the air, all day, every day, until someone checks it.
How do you identify steam losses in an industrial plant?
By testing every trap using ultrasonic and thermal detection methods, reinforced by our principal partnership with TLV, a Japanese steam engineering specialist with 70+ years of focus.
Why is a steam trap survey important?
Failed traps silently waste boiler fuel around the clock, and identifying which ones need repair stops that loss before more fuel is lost.
Which industries use this service?
It's used in refineries, power generation, tyre manufacturing, and paper and pulp processing — any plant with a steam distribution network.
What information does the customer receive?
A clear list of which traps are blowing through, failed open, or failed closed, so repair can be prioritized.
