At-a-glance, Point-of-use Temperature Indication Enables Continual Monitoring of the System:
- In a perfect world, the only thing we ever want in a saturated steam system is dry saturated steam. Since we certainly don't live in a perfect world, we always have to be diligent in working to remove the condensate.
- Regardless of the style of steam trap, the desire should be to evacuate condensate before it can negatively affect the system (preferably as soon as it is formed). Subcooled condensate causes the overwhelming majority of problems in saturated systems.
- Each patented Gleason Instrument™ is calibrated for a specific system pressure and should be utilized for applications that are non-modulating - such as steam tracing, drip legs, etc - where the steam pressure isn't purposefully modulated. (An example of a modulating application would be a heat exchanger whose control valve opens/closes based on the leaving temperature of a process fluid.)
- The Gleason Instrument™ is designed to be used upstream of any style of steam trap or at any other point in the steam portion of the system (tracers, on drip legs, upstream of isolation valves, strainers, piping, vessels, unit heaters, process heaters, reboilers, etc.) where it is important that we have a quick, easy, at-a-glance means to determine if the steam temperature is where it should be - not subcooled (or any more subcooled than it should be).
- Gleason Instruments can provide indication of plugged or reduced-capacity steam traps, plugged or reduced-capacity Y-strainers, low steam quality ("wet" steam), excessive entrained air / non-condensibles, reduced system pressure, superheat, inaccurate instrumentation, etc.

(Most intuitive): Indicates the temperature - in a green zone - within +/- 50 degrees of saturated temp for that pressure. There is little, if any, system knowledge required. (If it's not reading in the green zone, attention is required.) The green zone allows for system pressure fluctuations, changing ambient conditions, etc. (These are also calibrated with a simulated slight wind.) Very effective if used by itself and exceptionally effective when bunched with others (such as on a condensate-return tree) as this allows comparison.

Indicator
Simply indicates the system temperature anywhere in the system. These can be used in modulating (as well as non-modulating) applications. Operators need to know their system and be comfortable using a steam table (provided with each gauge). Provides a much more accurate surface temp reading than an infrared device - especially on shiny stainless steel.
Inexpensive, Compact, and Simple. Easily installed on exterior of steam piping or tubing.
Individually calibrated and serialized
Each Gleason Instrument is NIST certifiable and 100% made in the USA.
Installs in seconds on exterior of pipe or tube
The stainless steel worm gear connector and custom-fitted mounting cup ensures accuracy.
