Steam pressure washer is a mechanical device that uses high-pressure water to many surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete road surfaces. These machines spray hot steam under extremely high pressure thus removing grease and loose paint. They are used in conjunction with degreasers to enhance the steam cleaner's effectiveness. The cleaning process is done by high velocity projection of a finely divided spray of steam and water against the masonry surface. It removes grime from weather-exposed surfaces of concrete and masonry building without harming surfaces or preventing later weathering. After steam cleaning, masonry surfaces retain their original finish & natural color tones without the roughened surfaces. There should be a continuous supply of high-pressure steam or water vapor before cleaning operations.

Steam radiators have a valve that allows steam to escape at a controlled rate so that the radiator can heat up. The valves pretty much have to be either all the way open or all the way closed, and the amount of steam allowed into the radiator is controlled by a regulator that's typically on the top of the radiator opposite to the end where the valve is. It uses a single pipe that delivers steam up to the radiators and allows the condensed water to drip downward back to the boiler where it's heated up again.

In steam reformer tubes centrifugally cast materials, namely HK40, HP Modified, and Micro-Alloy materials, are used for tube materials. The material undergoes various stresses resulting in damage which can manifest itself in several ways. The quantification of damage is of vital importance if tube life is to be predicted accurately. A comprehensive inspection system has been developed to assess the exact degree of damage. The technology utilizes several NDE techniques, including ultrasonic and eddy current.

Steam sparged water heated shell and tube vaporizers steam is sparged into water retained in a ballast tank heating it to the required temperature, cryogen is vaporized through the tubes by direct contact with hot water. These are generally used for the higher capacity requirements. These are most commonly used in pipeline back-up service or other high volume systems such as steel mills.

Steam strainers are used in high pressure gas lines to prevent dirt and debris from damaging or jamming regulators, valves, and other gas train accessories. It is also used in oil and steam lines to screen out foreign particles that otherwise could reach the oil atomizer.
