Strainers – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a Strainer?
A strainer is a filtration device designed to remove solid particles from process media such as liquids, gases, and fuels. It captures contaminants before they enter the system, preventing clogs, equipment damage, and flow restrictions that could lead to operational failures.
How does a Strainer work?
Strainers use a mesh or perforated screen to trap unwanted debris while maintaining optimal flow rate and minimal pressure drop. They can be in the form of Y-type and basket-type designs made from materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, bronze, or cast iron to stand at different pressures, temperatures, and applications.
How long does a Strainer last?
Lifespan depends on the operating environment, media quality, and maintenance. Regular inspections and cleaning are crucial for preventing buildup and maintaining efficiency. For critical applications, installing pressure gauges upstream and downstream helps monitor blockages in real time.
How do I install a Strainer?
- Select a strainer that matches the pipe size to prevent unnecessary pressure drop.
- Y-strainers for liquids should be installed with the cap and drain plug facing downward for easy cleaning.
- For steam applications, install the strainer horizontally to prevent condensate buildup.
- Ensure the correct flow direction and allow space for maintenance.
- Follow manufacturer guidelines and account for the connection type (flanged or threaded).
Where are Strainers commonly used?
- Y-strainers: Ideal for steam, air, water, and oil pipelines, protecting control valves and process equipment.
- Basket strainers: Used in industrial fluid and fuel filtration, including boilers and water treatment systems.
