Y strainer size

While often used in many different types of liquid applications, a Y-strainer is considered standard for steam applications and is almost universally used for these applications. Its compact, cylindrical shape is very strong and can handle high pressures. It is, literally a pressure vessel.

How do you size a strainer?

Strainer Unit Sizing The strainer size should be determined from the potential dirt volume that the unit expects to retain and the maximum allowable pressure drop for the strainer. An undersized strainer will result in increased maintenance required to continually clean the elements.

How do you pick a Y strainer?

The type of pipe system, the material that is used in the system, the size of the unwanted particles to be captured, and the pressure and temperature involved in the system are all considerations to keep in mind as you decide which wye strainer is best.

What is the mesh size of a nozzle strainer?

Strainers protect spray tip orifices from clogging and damage. Stainless steel screens are available in 24, 50, 80, 100 and 200 mesh. 19845 tip strainers are available in 25 and 50 mesh only.

What are Y type strainers?

Y-Strainers are devices for mechanically removing unwanted solids from liquid, gas or steam lines by means of a perforated or wire mesh straining element. They are used in pipelines to protect pumps, meters, control valves, steam traps, regulators and other process equipment.

Is code a strainer?

HS Code 74122011 | Harmonized System Code Tube-Well Strainer.

What is mesh size in filter?

Mesh size is the actual size of the openings in the mesh. This is usually given in fractional inches and millimeters and/or microns. A micron (μm) is one thousandth of a millimeter or one twenty-five thousandth of an inch.

How do you measure basket strainer?

The first consideration when selecting a Hayward® basket strainer is the amount of free open area. This is the ratio of the open area through the strainer basket to the cross sectional area of the pipe. A well-designed basket strainer should have an open area ratio of at least 4 to 1.

How many types of strainers are there?

They are simplex strainers, y strainers, duplex strainers, and automatic strainers. Each different type of strainer has its own advantages when being used. Strainers are designed to remove large contaminants (defined as 40-microns or greater) from the material being processed.

How important is selecting of strainers in piping systems?

Pipe Strainers are very important components in piping systems to protect costly equipment from potential damage caused by foreign particles carried by the process fluid.

What does 200 mesh mean?

In ceramics, this refers to the particle size of a powder. A 200 screen has 200 wires per inch. The openings between the wires measure 74 microns (the width of a typical human hair).

How do you read a mesh size?

Count the number of openings in one inch of screen (United States mesh size). The number of openings is the mesh size. So a 4-mesh screen means there are four little squares across one linear inch of screen. A 100-mesh screen has 100 openings, and so on.

What is 6 mesh screen?

A -6 mesh powder has particles that measure less than 3360 microns. A powder that is -325 mesh has particles that measure less than 44 micron. As you can see, the larger the mesh number the smaller the particle size of the powder. You would know that this powder passed though a 325 mesh screen.

Can Y strainers be installed vertically?

Y Strainers can be used in either a horizontal or vertical position while most basket strainers are designed for horizontal or slightly inclined piping applications. You must pay attention to the orientation of the chamber which collects debris and the drain (blow-down) connection of the Y Strainer.

Why strainer is used in pumps?

Pump suction strainers are installed onto the suction inlet or piping of a pump to protect the system from taking in solid foreign matter from the fluid reservoir. They generally feature a coarse mesh screen designed to capture and collect large particulates as the fluid flows into the pump.

What is the difference between a filter and a strainer?

The key difference between strainers and filters are the size of the particles they remove. Strainers typically remove larger particles that are visible in a liquid or gas, while filters remove contaminants that are often so small, they cannot be seen with the naked eye.
