Strainer
A device installed upstream of valves, pumps, meters, and instruments to remove particulate from the fluid. Types: Y-type (in-line, small sizes), basket (larger sizes, side-entry for cleaning), duplex (two-basket with isolation for online basket change). Screen mesh from 10 mesh (coarse) to 100 mesh (fine) depends on the equipment to be protected.

What is a Strainer used for?
Strainers are used in industrial piping systems for on-off isolation, flow control, or backflow prevention depending on the valve type. They are selected based on the process fluid, operating pressure and temperature, required shutoff class, and pipeline size. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Strainers certified to API 6D, ASME B16.34, and other applicable standards.
How do I select the right Strainer for my application?
Selecting the correct Strainer requires specifying: (1) nominal pipe size (NPS/DN), (2) pressure class per ASME B16.34, (3) body and trim material based on fluid compatibility and temperature, (4) end connections (flanged RF/RTJ, butt-weld, socket-weld, or threaded), (5) required certifications (API 6D, ISO 9001, fire-safe API 607).
