DESCRIPTION

Y Type strainers are used as an economical solution for the removal of solids within fluid. They are often chosen due to their compact and economical design, which can be installed horizontally or vertically, and available with either threaded or flanged connections.

Our models are available in a wide Selection of Materials enabling suitability for most processes. Materials include:

Alloy20
Bronze
Carbon Steel
Cast Iron
Ductile Iron
Duplex
Hastelloy
Stainless Steel 304, 316 or 316L
Super Duplex

Applications

Such models are typically used for:

- Positive displacement pump protection such as Gear, Screw and piston pumps where pump designs contain small tolerances which can be damaged by the presence of solids

- Flowmeter protection

- Instrumentation protection such as gauges, or analysers

- Nozzle protection

Benefits:

- Install in any position

- Compact Design

- Available with either BSP or Flanged Connections in a range of sizes from DN20 to 700mm

- Available with a wide range of Certification including 3.1 EN10204 Compliance Certification, 2.1 Material Certificate, NACE MR01-75, PED2014/68EU (formerly 97/23/EC)

FAQS

Why Use a Y Stainer?

Such models are used to filter small amounts of solids protecting pumps and process equipment. They are compact in design and economical.

Can Y Type Strainers be installed vertically?

Yes they can be installed horizontally or vertically with such versatility being one of their main benefits.

How do you clean Y Type Strainers?

Cleaning is performed by firstly isolating the system, and draining at the lowest point. A cap is then unscrewed containing the filter to remove any captured particles. The mesh is then reinstalled and the system restarted.

How is the Mesh Size Calculated?

Mesh size is selected according to fluid viscosity, required particle capture size, flow rate and allowable pressure drop. If mesh size is too large particles will pass unhindered. If sized too small then the pressure drop will be too high due the friction losses pushing the fluid through such fine mesh and the filter may become clogged too quickly.

What is the pressure drop?

Pressure drop is dependent on the fluid viscosity, size of solids, concentration of solids, flowrate and fluid pressure. Contact us to discuss your requirement.
