Strainer

Penglai Huande Steel valve Co., Ltd mainly export Y-type strainer.

In Y-type strainer the filter leg connects to the main pipe at a diagonal angle, giving the strainer its "y" shape, and hence its name. This type is commonly used in pressurized lines, steam, liquid or gas, but can also be applied in vacuum or suction situation.

Y-type strainers usually have a lower dirt holding capacity than basket type strainers, which means that they require more frequent cleaning. On steam systems, this is generally not a problem, except where high levels of rust are present, or immediately after commissioning when large amounts of debris can be introduced.

On applications where significant amounts of debris are expected, a blowdown valve can usually be fitted in the strainer cap, which enables the strainer to use the pressure of the steam to be cleaned, and without having to shut down the plant. A Y-strainer can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position (Downward flow) with the screen element pointing downward. This allows the strainer screen to collect material in the strainer at the lowest point of the screen.

We use the wax injection and de-wax craftwork and CNC machine to produce zero flaw strainer according to the requirement of our customers. Contact us to know more about the y strainer function!
