Reliable Strainer

A pipe strainer is a device that mechanically removes solid particles from a fluid flowing through a pipeline. It does this by using a straining element made of perforated metal, mesh, or wedge wire. The size of the particles a strainer can hold typically ranges from 1 inch to 40 microns (0.0016 inches).
 
In pipelines, strainers help protect downstream equipment, such as condensers, cooling systems, pumps, compressors, meters, spray nozzles, generators, and steam traps. They prevent damage by filtering out sediments, corrosion, pipe scales, and other debris that could harm these systems.

How Does A Pipe Strainer Work?

The way a pipe strainer works is quite simple. Regardless of whether you’re using a tee, a duplex, or a Y-strainer, the process remains the same. The strainer is connected to both the inlet and the outlet of the pipeline. When fluid flows through the pipeline, it enters the strainer’s housing and moves into the suction segment.
 
As the fluid flows, the strainer catches and holds any foreign materials, such as seaweed, plastic, or large particles, preventing them from passing through. A well-functioning strainer effectively blocks these unwanted particles.
 
A pipe strainer typically has several components, each playing a specific role in the filtration process. The strainer has 2 main sides: the suction side and the discharge side. Here are the basic steps of how a pipe strainer works:
 
  • Fluid enters the strainer through the inlet.
  • The strainer’s basket traps soil, debris, and particles.
  • When the strainer becomes clogged, a pressure differential activates a warning.
  • Depending on the strainer’s design, the pipeline can be shut down, or the flow can be redirected to a secondary basket strainer.

How Many Types Of Industrial Strainers Are There?

Industrial strainers come in various types based on their shape and specific applications. Here are the main types:

Y-Type Strainer
The Y-type strainer is named for its Y-shaped design and is commonly used for coarse filtration or pre-filtration. Despite being used primarily for coarse filtration, it has a wide filtration area that can also accommodate fine mesh. This type of strainer helps clear the medium, extending the life of valves and protecting expensive pumps, meters, and other mechanical devices.
 
Y-type strainers can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal position, with the filtration element pointing downward. This allows material to collect at the lowest point of the strainer mesh. Additionally, Y-strainers often come with a blow-off connection for automatic cleaning.

Basket Strainer

Basket strainers allow a wide range of fluids to be strained and filtered while capturing solid components of nearly any size. The baskets are easily removable and simple to clean. Depending on the application, basket strainers can be provided in single-cylinder to pleated styles. They are designed with filter housing, a perforated cage-supported filter element, to prevent bypass and various end link options.

T-Type Strainer

The T-type strainer, or Tee strainer, is a custom-made compound strainer designed to remove foreign contaminants from a pipeline. T-type strainers are a cost-effective option for applications requiring high nominal bore straining. They can be installed in both vertical and horizontal pipes and are suitable for right-angled installations.

How To Choose A Strainer?

Choosing the right industrial strainer requires understanding the system and the types of pollutants it needs to capture. Industrial strainers filter particles from as large as 0.500 inches to as small as 44 microns (325 mesh). It’s important to select a strainer that captures particles larger than those that could damage downstream equipment, as straining too finely can lead to maintenance issues and obstruct flow.
 
Pressure Drop and Velocity

Pressure drop and velocity are key factors in selecting a strainer, as they affect the resistance within the strainer. The narrower the pores or slots in the straining medium, the greater the resistance to fluid flow. Strainers should be chosen based on the allowable head loss, with a typical recommended pressure drop of 0.5 PSIG for strainers mounted on the suction side of a pump handling water.

Maximum Working Pressure

The flange rating of a strainer should not be used as a measure of its maximum working pressure, as it often only reflects the flange’s attachment strength, not the strainer’s actual pressure capacity. ASME flange ratings may allow for higher pressures, but the strainer’s design pressure may differ from these ratings. To choose the correct industrial strainer, it is crucial to know the exact operating pressure and temperature of your system.

Open Area Ratio

This ratio compares the internal cross-sectional area of the inlet pipe to the total open area of the holes in the basket. Automated self-cleaning strainers can maintain optimal flow even with lower open-area ratios, but wedge wire baskets are often preferred because they provide a larger open area, reducing the frequency of cleaning.

Industrial Strainer Application

Industrial strainers are widely used in various applications to protect sensitive equipment and maintain efficient operations. Some key applications include:
 
  • Installed upstream valves, compressors, and pumps to protect these sensitive devices.
  • Used in systems where the medium is heavier or contains chemicals that need to be filtered out.
  • Commonly applied in industries such as chemical processing, water treatment, food production, and petroleum refining.

How Do You Calculate The Strainer Mesh Size?

Required Filtration Level

Identify the size of particles that need to be filtered out to protect downstream equipment. This will help determine the appropriate hole and mesh size for the strainer.

Appropriate Perforation or Mesh Size

Select a perforation or mesh size based on the required filtration level. Be cautious not to choose openings that are too small, as this can lead to frequent cleaning, unnecessary pressure drops, and the use of thinner screens that may not withstand high differential pressure.

Consider Material Thickness

For stainless steel perforated metal, the thickness is typically one gauge width less than the diameter of the punched holes. If using carbon steel or brass, the material thickness can match the diameter of the punched holes, which provides better structural integrity.

Evaluate Pressure Tolerance

Assess the practicality of the chosen perforation or mesh size. For example, if you select a strainer with 1/64″ diameter holes on a 16″ grid using stainless steel, calculate the thickness (e.g., 0.014″) and determine if it can handle the expected differential pressure. If not, adjust the design to use thicker materials or larger holes.

Mesh-Lined Heavier Perforated Plate

To achieve fine straining in larger strainers, consider using a mesh lining over a heavier perforated plate with larger holes. This approach allows for fine filtration while maintaining the strainer’s ability to withstand pressure.

Finalize the Mesh Size Based

Finalize the selection of the hole and mesh size by considering the number and size of particles that can safely pass through downstream devices without causing damage. This will help ensure that the chosen strainer mesh size is both effective and durable.

How To Install A Strainer In The Pipeline?

01

Inspect the Strainer

Check all machined surface areas for flaws and make sure the interior is free from foreign materials.

02

Mount the Strainer

Align the strainer with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow. Use proper sealant on threads for threaded strainers.

03

Tighten Flange Bolts (for Flanged Strainers)

Gradually tighten the flange bolts in a back-and-forth, clockwise rotation until all bolts are securely fastened.

04

Test for Leaks

Slowly pressurize the device and check for leakage around all connections. If leakage occurs, depressurize the device and repeat the installation process.

How To Clean A Pipe Strainer?

01

Prepare for Cleaning

Carefully clean industrial strainer baskets after use, especially when clogged, following specific guidelines to keep the strainer functional. Use a plug to clear fluid from the chambers, extracting from both the top and bottom.

02

Release Pressure

Stabilize pressure with an eye bolt and slowly open the bolts to gauge the pressure level in the strainer.

03

Choose Cleaning Method

Select the cleaning method and detergent based on the type of fluid and the strainer material. Warm water and detergent are suitable for oil-based fluids; use a rough brush for thorough cleaning.

04

Rinse and Scrape

Rinse the strainer basket completely, using a plastic scraper for any carbon build-up. Avoid detergents that might react with or damage the strainer.

05

Use Proper Tools and Safety Gear

Choose the right cleaning tools and supplies, and wear protective gear like heat-resistant gloves, coats, and safety boots.

What Is a Temporary Strainer?

A temporary strainer is designed for short-term use, typically during the setup and initial start-up of new or refurbished process lines. It helps remove coarse materials like rags, welding rods, pipe scales, and rust that might be accidentally left in the pipelines. These strainers are easy to install and remove, fitting between two flanges in a pipeline system.
 
Temporary strainers are made from a perforated plate with a welded collar, which secures the strainer between the flanges. The medium flows from the outside to the inside of the strainer. After a short period of operation, the temporary strainer is usually replaced with a permanent strainer that provides finer filtration.

What Is The Difference Between A Filter And A Strainer?

Particle Size
The main difference between filters and strainers lies in the size of the particles they are designed to capture. Filters remove particles smaller than 40 microns (40 μm), while strainers trap particles larger than 40 microns.
Visibility of Particles
Strainers are typically used when the particles being removed are visible to the naked eye. In contrast, filters are used when the particles are too small to be seen without magnification.
Pressure Impact
Liquid passing through a strainer usually experiences little to no decrease in pressure, unless the strainer is clogged and needs cleaning. Conversely, liquid or gas going through a filter is expected to undergo a noticeable pressure drop.
Reusability
Strainers have a reusable screen that can be cleaned and used multiple times. Filters, on the other hand, usually have a screen that is intended for one-time use and must be replaced when clogged.
