Basket Strainers & Y Strainers
Strainer is a course filter. It removes particles, which are visible to naked eye. Device, which removes particles not visible to naked eye, is known as filter. Basket Strainers are also used in conjunction with a filter by installing strainer directly ahead of filter; the large heavy particles are arrested by the strainer, there, by reducing frequency of replacing element of a filter. Basically there are two types of Strainers, Basket Strainers & 'Y' Strainers.
S&S basket Type Strainers are widely used to remove foreign particles & debris in the flow of liquid. They upgrade liquid quality & protect costly equipments.
'Y' Strainers are so called because of their shape. 'Y' Strainers are generally used with steam & gases & in case where the necessary for cleaning is infrequent. Basket Strainers are generally used with liquids & where regular frequent cleaning is needed. Basket Strainers hold considerably more material than 'Y' Strainers and they offer less pressure drop then 'Y' Strainers. Both factors are of more importance in liquid flow than in steam or gaseous flow.
