PK valves are known as steam traps, also called automatic drains or condensate dischargers. They are categorized for use in steam systems and gas systems. Steam traps are installed at the end of steam-heated pipelines to continuously discharge condensate from the pipes to the outside.

Steam traps are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, food and pharmaceuticals, and power plants, playing a significant role in energy saving and emission reduction.
