Description

The strainer is a mechanical device used to filter solid impurities from a fluid flowing through a pipeline. It consists of a body with an internal filtering element (mesh, basket, or cartridge) that retains particles such as sand, rust, or metallic debris. Strainers are essential for protecting pumps, valves, measuring instruments, and other components from damage caused by debris present in the fluid. There are different types of strainers: Y-type, T-type, and basket, each suited to different flow, maintenance, and installation conditions. The material may vary depending on the type of fluid and operating conditions (stainless steel, cast iron, bronze, etc.). Some models are self-cleaning or equipped with drain valves for easy maintenance. They are used in sectors such as oil & gas, chemical, food, HVAC, and water treatment.
