Basket Strainer

Baskets StrainerThe following will inform you about basket strainers. Basket strainers protect equipment by removing solids from liquids usually for piping systems, using a screen in a vertically oriented chamber.

Basket strainers are essential components of piping systems to protect equipment from particles that may be in the fluid. Additionally, strainers are usually supplied in iron, carbon steel, bronze, or stainless steel. Iron is used the most, because it costs the least and has good corrosion resistance in the water.

In addition basket strainers can hold more debris than Y strainers. Then they usually have less of a pressure drop, which is why they are ideal in liquid applications.

Pipeline Basket Strainers

Pipeline basket strainers have a large compartment that juts off the mainline and holds a sizeable removable strainer. As a result, pipe basket strainers are distinct for having a higher debris storage capacity, requiring less maintenance. They are ideal for high and constant flow applications like liquid petroleum and oilfield transfer. In addition, because of piping basket strainer’s higher storage capacity, industrial basket strainers are less prone to building up back pressure.

A variable also available from many industrial strainers suppliers is the double basket strainer, which works like a single basket strainer, only with a dual-chamber. As a result, you can change each independently without shutting down and depressurizing the line, allowing production to continue during maintenance.

Material

To begin carbon steel is used in industrial basket strainers where higher temperatures or concern with thermal or mechanical shock is an issue, making basket strainers popular in the oil and petrochemical industries.

As well as bronze handles thermal and mechanical shock better than iron and is better in some corrosive applications. And stainless steel is needed in basket strainers where corrosion could be an issue. It is widely used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

In addition, during system start-up and flushing, strainers may be placed upstream of pumps to protect them from debris that might have been left in the pipe.

Industrial basket strainers are inline baskets used to collect mater or sludge from continuing through a pipeline. Valves can be attached to the bottom to exit and clean the basket. Pipe basket strainers are a type of industrial strainer.

Industrial Basket Strainers

Pipeline basket strainers guard equipment by automatically getting rid of solids from liquids and different commercial and industrial piping systems using a mesh straining screen in a vertical chamber. Basket Strainers can also be temporary strainers.

Piping basket strainers have a more significant particle retaining ability than Y strainers. Usually, they have much less pressure drop, so industrial basket strainers are best in liquid applications.

Piping Basket Strainer

Piping basket strainers are typically provided in one of 4 materials: iron, carbon steel, bronze, or stainless steel. Iron is used most often as it costs the least and has suitable corrosion resistance in water and plenty of other services.

Therefore, carbon steel is used where higher temperatures or concern with thermal or mechanical shock is an issue. Also, this makes basket strainers popular in the oil and petrochemical industries.

In addition, bronze handles thermal and mechanical shock better than iron and is better in some corrosive applications. However, it is restricted in the temperature range, and stainless steel pipe basket strainers are needed where corrosion could be an issue and are widely used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

Furthermore, pipeline basket strainers can come with various end connections, including threaded, flanged, and welded. We can provide standard screens. But other screens are available on request. For example, copper mesh, silver mesh, nickel mesh, aluminum mesh, titanium zirconium mesh, and tungsten molybdenum mesh.
