SteamIQ Monitoring Hardware
The Foundation of Better Intelligence
AI is only as good as its data. While others rely on single-sensor readings, we capture the complete picture with multi-sensor fusion—giving you the richest data foundation in the industry.
Four Sensors. One Complete Picture.
Traditional monitors use a single sensor and miss the full story. SteamIQ combines four distinct sensing technologies to detect failures others can't see.
Differential Ultrasound
Our patented piezoceramic sensor interrogates steam leak intensity directly through the pipe wall, quantifying losses that temperature alone cannot even detect. Where thermometers are easily fooled by shared return lines and ambient conditions, ultrasound is the last word.
Catches: Leaks, failed-open traps, blow-through
Cycle Counting
Like an EKG for your steam trap. Cycle counting reads every discharge event to measure condensate loading, activity levels, and behavioral patterns over time. Where leak detection is a spot check, cycle counting is the calculus — revealing how trap behavior shifts day to day and month over month, catching degradation long before complete failure.
Catches: Degrading performance, stuck traps, condensate loading, failed-closed traps
Temperature Monitoring
Temperature doesn't lead the diagnosis — it confirms it. Continuous thermal sensing verifies steam presence, catches failed-closed traps that stop discharging entirely, and flags upstream supply problems. The supporting evidence that turns ultrasonic suspicion into certainty.
Catches: Failed-closed traps, low steam supply, process issues
Water Hammer Detection
Water hammer is intermittent, unpredictable, and dangerous. Traditional detection is "someone heard a bang" or "something broke." SteamIQ's 3-axis accelerometer runs continuously, catching the shock signature of condensate impacts and alerting immediately. No other steam trap monitor on the market detects water hammer.
Catches: Water hammer, vibration anomalies, mechanical issues
Each sensor tells part of the story. Together, they give our AI the complete picture—and that's why SteamIQ catches failures others miss.
Water Hammer Detection Built In
Our 3-axis accelerometer doesn't just monitor steam traps—it detects water hammer events that other monitors completely miss. One sensor, two critical capabilities.
