Introduction to Pipeline Strainers

Introduction to Pipeline Strainers


Pipeline strainers: In steam and condensate systems, debris often damages equipment, such as scale, rust, welding slag, and other solid particles. Filters remove these particles from liquids or gases, protecting equipment and reducing downtime and maintenance. Filters are typically installed upstream of drain valves, flow meters, and control valves. Types include Y type, T type, cone type, and basket type, with connection options like butt welding, flange, or threaded. Shell materials vary, including carbon steel, low alloy steel, and austenitic stainless steel.

Design advantages:
The filter chamber maintains close contact with the screen, preventing leakage or compression. Both ends are precision machined to ensure a smooth contact surface and fixed chamber length for the screen. This close contact with the precision-machined cavity effectively prevents impurities larger than the filter holes from escaping at either end.

Applicable materials include:
1. Weak corrosive materials in chemical and petrochemical production include water, ammonia, oil products, hydrocarbons, etc.
2. Corrosive materials in chemical production include caustic soda, soda ash, concentrated sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, acetic acid, fatty acid, etc.
3. Materials used in refrigeration, such as liquid methane, liquid ammonia, liquid oxygen, and various refrigerants, are low temperature.
4. Materials requiring hygiene in light industry food and pharmaceutical production include beer, beverages, dairy products, etc.
5. Efficient and precise filtration achieved through various specialized processes.
