 Some instruments and techniques used to test steam include:

Dryness value apparatus

A test that ensures that the steam supply has an acceptable amount of moisture. Too little moisture can lead to superheating and prevent optimal sterilization. 

Superheat testing

Determines if the steam is hotter than its boiling point at a given pressure. 

Ultrasonic testing equipment

A versatile and accurate way to diagnose steam systems. The ultrasonic unit allows the operator to hear sounds that are outside the human range of hearing. 

Thermocouple system

A temperature measuring sensor that can be used to measure or control steam, gas, and fluid in production processes. 

Flow meter

An instrument used to measure the flow rate of steam, liquids, and gases. 

SteamExpert app

An app that can be used to quickly and inexpensively test steam traps of all types and brands.
