A steam trap for discharge of condensate is disclosed. The steam trap includes a chamber,GATE VALVES a first orifice and at least one other orifice. Each of the orifices has closing elements. The closing elements of all orifices are connected to an interlinked lever arrangement operated by a float. Plug ValvesThe orifices open in response to level of condensate in the chamber of the trap. A steam trap system is disclosed. The steam trap system includes an inlet, an outlet, and a float, with the inlet and the outlet separated by an orifice. The steam trap includes a plug operatively coupled to the float and disposed adjacent the orifice and arranged to open and close the orifice in response to movement of the float. A instrument module includes a pressure transducer arranged to detect pressure in the steam trap, Instrument Manifolds a temperature transducer arranged to detect temperature within the steam trap, and an eddy current probe arranged to detect movement of the plug. A central processing unit is operatively coupled to and arranged to receive an output from each of the pressure transducer, the temperature transducer, and the eddy current probe, the central processing unit arranged to process the respective outputs to thereby determine total steam flow and total condensate flow through the steam trap.
