High-Performance Strainers for Industrial Piping Systems

We offer strainers established to withstand various pressures and temperature limitations across multiple ANSI pressure classes.

We provide multiple configurations to meet diverse industrial applications:

• 97A – Cone Type: A conical strainer typically used for temporary installation during startup or flushing. Offers low pressure drop and organized debris capture.
• 97B – Basket Type: Provides more open area for filtration and is ideal for applications requiring extended operation prior to cleaning.
• 97C – Plate Type: A flat disc-style screen used in succinct systems where space is limited and flow direction is fixed.

• Y-Strainer
• Basket Strainers
• Temporary Strainers
• Conical Strainers
• Duplex Strainers/Twin Strainers
• Duplex Basket Strainers
• Inline Strainers
• Simplex Strainers

The following is general selection criteria for strainers & filters on the basis of applications, type, flow, pressure, mesh, & standards:

1. Application Purpose

• Most suitable device to protect pumps, valves, meters, heat exchangers, etc.
• Most importantly need for temporary purpose or continuous/permanent operation

2. Strainer Type

• Y-Strainer – Compact, moderate flow, general application
• Basket Strainer – High flow, large debris, Ease for maintenance
• Duplex Strainer – Doesn’t shut/stop working even during cleaning
• Temporary Strainer – Commissioning & flushing

3. Flow & Pressure

• Before Selecting any strainers, match the flow rate to strainer’s Cv or K-factor
• Allowable pressure drop (ΔP): Typically < 5 psi for clean
• Size strainer to avoid performance issues or cavitation

4. Mesh / Filtration

• Coarse: > 1 mm (20–40 mesh)
• Fine: < 100 µm (100–400 mesh)
• Choose based on particle size and equipment working sensitivity

5. Service-Specific Notes

6. Compliance & Standards

• ASME, API, ANSI: Pressure/temperature ratings
• PED, ISO: For international and regulated systems

Accurate installation and maintenance certify long-term correctness and effectiveness:

• Orientation: Install horizontally with the screen pointing downward. For cone strainers, affirm the point faces the flow direction.
• Flow Direction: Forever stick with the flow arrow marked on the body.
• Support & Positioning: Provide sufficient backup to dodge responsibility or vibration.
• Steps for Flushing: Flush pipelines in the formerly initial operation to remove debris and contaminants.
• Inspection: Strainers are for temporary use and should be checked at all times.
• Pressure Monitoring: Vacate or replace when pressure drop exceeds 10 PSI.
• Cleaning Method: Remove and unfill the screen in sum, inspect for damage, and reinstall securely.
• Reinstallation: Use accurate gaskets and torque settings when reinserting into the method.
