Y Type Strainers
- Most cost effective, Y strainer uses perforated wire-mesh or wedge wire to trap unwanted solids from a process stream. Y strainer can be mounted vertically or horizontally in a piping system strainer are low cost solution to large nominal bore straining requirements.
- Y strainer are commonly used in pipelines to prevent damage of Gauges, pumps, control valves, Flow meters and other process equipment.
- Fabricated Y strainers from 2” to 48” (larger sizes are available)
- Designed in accordance with ASME Section VIII Div. I
- Standard design pressures include 150psi, 300psi till 15000 psi (Higher pressure available on request).
- Strainers available in CS,CSRL,SS304,SS316,Duplex,Super Duplex.
- Hinged covers & Swing bolt opening available for quick opening
Y Strainers Pressures to 3705 PSIG Temperatures to 800ºF
