A Y-Strainer is used to remove solid impurities from the flow of liquids, gases, or steam, protecting critical downstream components like pumps and valves from damage and blockage.
For highly corrosive media, we recommend Stainless Steel or specialized corrosion-resistant alloys for both the shell and the filter screen to ensure long-term durability.
Mesh size depends on the size of the particles you need to intercept and the viscosity of the medium. Our engineers provide customized consultation to select the optimal mesh for your system.
Yes, Y-Strainers are specifically designed for steam transportation. Depending on the temperature, we offer carbon steel or stainless steel options to handle thermal expansion and pressure.
Cleaning frequency depends on the purity of the medium. We recommend monitoring the pressure drop across the strainer; a significant increase usually indicates it is time to clean the screen via the drain port.
We offer a variety of connection methods including threaded for smaller diameters, flanged for industrial piping, and welding for high-pressure, leak-proof requirements.
