Basket Type Temporary Strainer


Temporary strainers are designed for protection of equipment and instrumentation during start-up periods. The strainer is usually installed between a set of flanges for an initial period after a new plant has been installed. Installation of a spool piece equal or more than the length of the strainer is recommended for ease of installation or removal.

There are three basic configurations of temporary strainers, namely the conical type, the basket type and the plate type. Standard construction is of perforated screen or single ply heavy wire mesh. Wire mesh liners can be added inside or outside of the strainer for finer straining capabilities. If a wire mesh is used, care must be taken to ensure that the direction of flow is against the wire mesh with the perforated metal as a back-up.

Basket Type Strainers are widely used to remove foreign particles & debris wherever liquid flow. They provide an extremely means to upgrade liquid quality, protect costly equipment's like bearings, valves, pumps, burners, spray nozzles, and condensers etc. 

Practically there is no difference between strainer & filter. Strainer is a course filter. Any device, which removes particles, which are visible to naked eye, the same is known as strainer. Device, which removes particles, which are not, visible to naked eye, the same is known as filter. General rule says that a device, which removes particles coarse than 200 mesh (74 microns) is known as strainer & a device, which removes particles finer than 200 mesh is known as filter.

Basket Strainers are also used in conjunction with a filter by installing strainer directly ahead of filter, the large heavy particles are arrested by the strainer, there, by reducing frequency of replacing element of a filter.
