Thread Type Strainer

The Y-type strainer is an indispensable device for the pipeline series conveying the medium. It is usually installed at the inlet end of the pressure reducing valve, pressure relief valve, fixed water level valve or other equipment to eliminate impurities in the medium to protect the valve and the normal use of the device.

WESDOM filter has the characteristics of advanced structure, low resistance and convenient sewage discharge. The applicable medium can be water, oil and gas. WESDOM could provide Y type and basket type strainers.

This is used in small bore threaded piping up to 3″ size. it has threaded bushing at bottom end with a screw to remove dirt. Screen can be removed by unscrewing the bushing. These fittings are forged fittings and material of construction is forged steel like ASTM A105. Screen is made of stainless steel.

Installation in Piping:

Y strainers are normally required at the suction of pumps if permanent installation of a strainer is necessary. They can be installed horizontal with strainer side down for easy draining. They can also be installed in vertical piping with flow going downward.

Strainers are widely used in the fields of metallurgy, chemical industry, petroleum, paper making, medicine, food, mining, electric power and urban water supply.
They are used in industrial wastewater, filtration of circulating water, regeneration of emulsions, filtration of waste oil, continuous casting water systems in the metallurgical industry, blast furnace water systems, and high pressure water descaling systems for hot rolling. It is an advanced, efficient and easy to operate fully automatic filtration device.
