Speciality Valve is a leading Strainer Manufacturer in India, delivering high quality, long lasting industrial straining solutions designed to maintain clean, unobstructed pipeline flow. Functioning as the essential first line of defense in a piping network, these devices protect critical, delicate downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and meters by capturing solid impurities, preventing costly damage, and minimizing system downtime.
What is a Strainer?
Strainer is the device employed within pipelines for the filtration of solid materials such as debris, rust, scale, and other impurities from the stream of the liquid, gases, and steam. This device prevents downstream systems from any kind of contamination. The efficiency of the system is also increased at the minimum cost of maintenance.
Working Principle:-
The strainers work using the direct mechanical process of filtration. In this process, when the fluid (either liquid, gas, or steam) flows into the strainer body, it is made to go through the perforated screen or mesh element installed inside it. The purpose of this screen is to act as a filter. It filters out all kinds of undesired particles such as debris, rust, dirt, and scale. It only allows the filtered fluid to flow through the downstream side.
Types of Strainers Available:-
- Y Strainer: Has a compact and angular “Y” shape design that can be used either horizontally or vertically. Best for gas, steam, and/or pressure lines that have light amounts of debris in the line.
- Simplex Basket Strainer: Has a large and vertical cylindrical basket design that works only on horizontal lines. The basket has good debris holding capabilities.
- Duplex Basket Strainer: Consists of two filtering compartments that are linked by means of a diverter valve system. This ensures uninterrupted filtering operations with no down time.
