Basket Type Temporary Strainer

Basket Type Temporary Strainers are designed for protection of equipment and instrumentation during start-up periods. The strainer is usually installed between a set of flanges for an initial period after a new plant has been installed. Installation of a spool piece equal or more than the length of the strainer is recommended for ease of installation or removal.

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.

Applications for Basket Type Temporary Strainer:

Basket Type Strainers are widely used to remove foreign particles & debris wherever liquid flow. They provide an extremely means to upgrade liquid quality, protect costly equipments like bearings, valves, pumps, burners, spray nozzles, and condensers etc.

Filter Type for Basket Type Temporary Strainer:

There are three basic configurations of temporary strainers, namely the conical type, the basket type and the plate type. Standard construction is of perforated screen or single ply heavy wire mesh. Wire mesh liners can be added inside or outside of the strainer for finer straining capabilities. If a wire mesh is used, care must be taken to ensure that the direction of flow is against the wire mesh with the perforated metal as a back-up.

Features for Basket Type Temporary Strainer:

Practically there is no difference between strainer & filter. Strainer is a course filter. Any device, which removes particles, which are visible to naked eye, the same is known as strainer. Device, which removes particles, which are not, visible to naked eye, the same is known as filter. General rule says that a device, which removes particles coarse than 200 mesh (74 microns) is known as strainer & a device, which removes particles finer than 200 mesh is known as filter.

Metal filters are used primarily in commercial and industrial / OEM applications. In some applications the goal is to protect downstream components from particulate matter. In other cases, a metal filter can be used to separate, or screen one substance from another. Whether your specific application calls for removing unwanted contaminants from fluid or air, protecting expensive process equipment, or simply separating one material from another, Steellong can manufacture a custom metal filter designed for your exact specifications from wire cloth, perforated metal, or expanded metal. Why compromise performance with a stock solution when a custom fabricated metal filter can deliver the perfect size dimensions and performance characteristics desired?

Advantages of metal filters

Metal filters are excellent for use in applications that will include continuous exposure to liquid or moisture, or where paper filters do not offer sufficient rigidity or strength. In addition to outstanding durability, there are other inherent design benefits available with metallic filters. Metal filters can be fabricated by welding and crimping, eliminating the need for adhesives or epoxy bonding. Unlike paper filters, metallic filters can withstand temperature range in excess of 500 ° F. and can withstand extremely high differential pressures. Depending upon metals used, your filter can be designed as compatible with most caustic fluids. Stainless steel filters, for example, offer a high degree of resistance to corrosion in caustic environments.  Best of all, metal filters are inherently cleanable and reusable.  Reusable metal filters offer superior service life when compared to paper and cloth filters, and are commonly used in metal cutting, engine and compressor oil, and waste water applications.
