Basket strainers are synonymous with the term “simplex strainer”, despite other strainer types belonging to this family. Much like Y-strainers, their name derives from their shape. Because of how the basket element seals within the chamber, as well as the location of the drain port itself, these inline filter strainers favour a horizontal installation. Select the housing material based on the application's environment. To do this, it's necessary to understand the chemical resistances of the materials. Are Y strainers affordable? To conclude, the higher open ratio areas and improved holding capacities of basket strainers make them the go-to choice for most liquid filtration applications with batch processes or those that require occasional interruptions to the flow. . Y-strainers, on the other hand, are better equipped for inert gases or liquid applications requiring very low particle loading. Buy inline filter strainers The chart below is a handy resource to help convert from mesh to micron (or vice-versa). Mesh Screen There is no one-size-fits-all Y strainer that meets every need. That's why it's important to understand the application requirements before selecting a strainer. Typical Y strainer applicationsA micron (micrometer) is a unit of length that's used to measure tiny particles. For scale, a micrometer is one thousandth of a millimeter or about one 25-thousandths of an inch. What is mesh size? A Y strainer is most valuable in an environment that requires constant protection from debris and contamination. Some of the most common applications are the following. Steam applications EPDM: EPDM is similar to fluoro rubber but has different chemical resistances and working temperatures ranges. Learn more in our chemical resistance of materials guide.

Example: In the food industry, and for the sterilisation of process equipment in the pharmaceutical industry. A Y strainer cannot function properly without a properly sized mesh filter. There are two terms that describe the size of the openings in the strainer through which debris passes. One is micron and the other is mesh size. Though these are two different measurements, they describe the same thing. What is a micron? For steam, a Y-type strainer is the usual standard and is almost universally used. Its body has a compact cylindrical shape that is very strong and can handle high pressures. It is literally a pressure vessel, and it is not uncommon for Y-type strainers to be able to handle pressures of up to 400 bar g. The use of strainers at these pressures is however complicated by the high temperatures associated with steam at this pressure; and subsequently exotic materials such as chrome molybdenum steel have to be used.use some form of mechanical scraper or brush, which is raked over the screen surface. It dislodges any debris that is trapped in the screen, causing it to fall down into a collection area at the bottom of the strainer.
