Basket Strainer

Description of Basket Strainer

Process Control Devices offer a series of Pipeline Strainers. designed to protect equipment from potential damage due to mud and other outside particles that may be tote by the process fluid in a pipeline. Basket Strainers are generally used where high flow capacity is must. The basket Strainer boosts the clearance in the Fluid, and improve the life of conventional valves. Protects expensive pumps, flow meters and other flow measuring equipment. It is suitable for water, Air, Gas, petroleum, steam and other fluids.

Basket Strainers are also available in a duplex style. This is consists of two parallel basket Strainers, And the bypass valves, which allow diversion of the flow through one of the Strainer elements. at the other hand another element is being serviced. An essential feature where ongoing flow cannot be interrupt in line. These type of filters known as the duplex strainer.

We at Process Control Devices manufacturer basket strainer in Mumbai India.

What is the difference between strainer and filter?

Actually, there isn’t any since a strainer in reality; a coarse filter. The question is then one of semantics. Generally, it is assumed that if the partial to be remove is not visible to naked eyes, a unit is filtering. and if a particle is visible the unit is straining. The average human eyes can detect a specific between 50 and 70 microns. The most human eye cannot see particle smaller than 325 mesh, or 44 microns. Since 200 meshes is equal to 74 microns. A general rule would be that if the screening device is coarser than 200 meshes it is a strainer.

Selection of Strainer:

Selection of straining/filter element Example. Screen, perforated sheet or basket is depending upon the flowing fluid in the pipeline. For example, If the outside contamination is bigger than 40 mesh than wire mesh will be of 40 mesh size. The filter element is build up of perforated sheet and wire mesh bound. Use of perforated sheet is only to provide strength and durability to filter element. Pressure drops, operating pressure, flow rate is a few of the parameters that may be consider during the selection of right strainer
