Challenge

Steam trap failures—whether due to blockage, leakage, or blow-through—often go undetected in hazardous or hard-to-access areas. This leads to energy waste, safety risks, and costly unplanned maintenance.

GravitEx Solution

GravitEx enables a flexible, standards-based monitoring solution by integrating proven sensor technologies through the Radio Hub I/O module with wireless connectivity.

• Use acoustic sensors to detect live steam leaks and failed-open conditions
• Integrate PT100 temperature sensors (RTDs) to identify trap blockage or abnormal cooling
• Monitor trap performance in real time over ISA100, LoRa, or WirelessHART
• Compatible with Zone 1/2 and built with SIL2-capable architecture

Why It Works

Unlike proprietary smart traps, GravitEx allows you to retrofit any brand or type of existing steam traps using field-proven sensors, making it ideal for brownfield upgrades, multi-vendor facilities, and custom applications.

Result

Accurate fault detection, reduced energy loss, and safer plant operations—delivered wirelessly, without new cabling.
