Brass Compression 15mm 22mm Inline Y Strainer with Stainless Steel Mesh Debris Filter (22mm)

Product Information

Basket type strainers can only be installed in horizontal pipelines, and for larger, heavier basket strainers, the base of the strainer needs to be supported.

use some form of mechanical scraper or brush, which is raked over the screen surface. It dislodges any debris that is trapped in the screen, causing it to fall down into a collection area at the bottom of the strainer. Basket strainers are synonymous with the term “simplex strainer”, despite other strainer types belonging to this family. Much like Y-strainers, their name derives from their shape. Because of how the basket element seals within the chamber, as well as the location of the drain port itself, these inline filter strainers favour a horizontal installation.In addition, it can be helpful to see examples of the mesh sizes of certain particles, as shown in Table 2. Mesh Size It is advised that two gate valves are fitted to either side of this unit, ensuring all water is shut off when the baskets are being emptyed (1.5″ Valterra gate valves fit directly into the inlet and outlets) There is no one-size-fits-all Y strainer that meets every need. That's why it's important to understand the application requirements before selecting a strainer. Typical Y strainer applications

BM Engineering Supplies is the leading Scottish distributor of both simplex and duplex inline filter strainers, including cast iron basket strainers and stainless steel Y-strainers. Example: In the food industry, and for the sterilisation of process equipment in the pharmaceutical industry. Fluoro rubber: There are a few different seal materials that have a fluoro rubber base: FKM, FPM, and Viton. These seals are noted for their resistance to chemicals and weathering. There are different kinds of Y strainers on the market designed to meet various industry needs. Keep the following criteria in mind: The inline strainer unit features two threaded retaining nuts and sealing “O” rings, once unscrewed the base of the unit will be released enabling the baskets to be cleaned.These strainers are a go-to resource in most steam applications, as their shape is built to handle the high pressure that exists in these environments. Liquid applications Whilst strainers remove all visible particles in the steam, it is sometimes necessary to remove smaller particles, for example, in the following applications: It's important to take the time to size the mesh filter correctly. A mesh filter that is too small or too large can negatively affect the system. If the filter is too small, there will be a higher pressure drop from inlet to outlet. Additionally, removing too much debris from the flow can clog the filter and increase the pressure drop. If the filter is too large, the performance and life span of the downstream equipment can be negatively effected. Material options Arguably the most popular simplex strainer types on the market, basket and Y-strainers have their distinct advantages and disadvantages. Both have the edge over other inline filter strainers for various application types. However, each has certain qualities to bear in mind when choosing between these pipeline ancillaries.

All of the simplex and duplex basket strainers available from BM Engineering Supplies are expertly crafted from cast iron by respected manufacturers, Leengate Valves . Benefits of using a cast iron basket strainer Fine wire is formed into a grid or mesh arrangement. This is then commonly layered over a perforated screen, which acts as a support cage for the mesh.There are various material options for the strainer's housing and seal. The variety of housing materials fit well with certain environments and media. The seal helps to extend the life of the strainer. Housing materials Select the housing material based on the application's environment. To do this, it's necessary to understand the chemical resistances of the materials. Are Y strainers affordable? The screening area is the area available for removing debris. A larger screening area means that the frequency of blowdown for cleaning the screen is considerably reduced.
