Overview
A carbon steel Y-type strainer that removes solid particles from liquid, gas, and steam by passing flow through a filtering element intersecting the main body at an angle. Protects downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and meters from damage caused by entrained particulates. Commonly deployed in steam systems, drinking water lines, and general industrial process pipelines. Supplied, sized and serviced for process plants across Nepal.
Features & Benefits
- Y-body geometry orients the filter element at an angle to the flow path, allowing the strainer to be cleaned or screen replaced without removing the body from the pipeline — just remove the plug at the bottom of the Y leg.
- Broad fluid compatibility across gases, liquids, steam, and air means a single strainer model covers most process lines on a site, simplifying procurement and spare parts inventory.
- Protecting downstream pumps, control valves, and meters from solid ingestion is significantly cheaper than the repair or replacement cost of those assets, making a strainer one of the highest-ROI items in a piping system.
- Flanged end connection across 25mm to 200mm sizes allows installation and removal without cutting the line, which is important in continuous-process plants where isolation is planned but line modification is not.
- 15 Kg/cm² pressure rating covers the majority of industrial steam and water distribution pressures without requiring a higher-rated (and heavier) body class.
- Carbon steel body handles the temperature and pressure of steam service while keeping weight and cost lower than stainless alternatives for non-corrosive media.
