Low pressure irons and connections are used in industrial processes where low pressure steam is used for heating or other purposes. Low pressure irons are used in garment manufacturing and textile industries to press clothes, while low pressure connections are used to connect steam pipes and fittings.
Low pressure irons typically operate at pressures below 15 psi, which is much lower than the pressures used in high pressure steam systems. They typically have a heating element that heats up the water to produce steam, which is then released through the iron to press the clothes. Low pressure irons are typically smaller and more compact than high pressure irons, and are designed for use in smaller scale operations.
Low pressure connections are typically used to connect steam pipes and fittings in low pressure steam systems. They come in various shapes and sizes, and are made of materials such as brass or stainless steel. Proper selection of connections is important to ensure that they are compatible with the steam system and can handle the pressure and temperature of the steam.
Proper maintenance of low pressure irons and connections is important to ensure their longevity and proper function. Regular cleaning and inspection of low pressure irons can help prevent clogs and ensure that the heating element is functioning properly. Connections should also be inspected periodically for leaks or damage, and any repairs or replacement should be done by a qualified technician.
