What Is a Condensate Pot & Why Is It Critical in Steam Systems?

A Condensate Pot is a vital component in steam and fluid systems, designed to collect condensate and prevent it from entering sensitive instruments like pressure transmitters or DP flow meters. This protects the system from corrosion, measurement errors, and damage to impulse lines. As steam condenses due to pressure or temperature changes, the condensate pot ensures only dry steam reaches the instruments. Mcneil Instruments manufactures high-performance condensate pots built for high-pressure, high-temperature applications trusted globally for their reliability and quality.
