2021 wholesale price Food Grade Y Type Strainer - TWS Flanged Y Strainer According to ANSI B16.10 – TWS Valve

Description:

Y strainers mechanically remove solids from flowing steam, gases or liquid piping systems with the use of a perforated or wire mesh straining screen, and are used to protect equipment. From a simple low pressure cast iron threaded strainer to a large, high pressure special alloy unit with a custom cap design.

Feature:

Unlike other types of strainers, a Y-Strainer has the advantage of being able to be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position. Obviously, in both cases, the screening element must be on the “down side” of the strainer body so that the entrapped material can properly collect in it.

Some manufactures reduce the size of the Y -Strainer body to save material and cut cost. Before installing a Y-Strainer, be sure it is large enough to properly handle the flow. A low-priced strainer may be an indication of an undersized unit.

Why Use a Y Strainer?

In general, Y strainers are critical anywhere clean fluids are required. While clean fluids can help maximize the reliability and lifespan of any mechanical system, they’re especially important with solenoid valves. This is because solenoid valves are very sensitive to dirt and will only function properly with clean liquids or air. If any solids enter the stream, it can disrupt and even damage the entire system. Therefore, a Y strainer is a great complimentary component. In addition to protecting the performance of solenoid valves, they also help safeguard other types of mechanical equipment, including:
Pumps
Turbines
Spray nozzles
Heat exchangers
Condensers
Steam traps
Meters
A simple Y strainer can keep these components, which are some of the most valuable and expensive parts of the pipeline, protected from the presences of pipe scale, rust, sediment or any other kind of extraneous debris. Y strainers are available in a myriad of designs (and connection types) that can accommodate any industry or application.
