Overview
The SANT cast iron Y-type strainer features a robust bolted cover and a screwed end design (Female BSP parallel threads to BS 21). Engineered specifically for steam applications, it incorporates a 1.2 mm perforated SS 304 screen to effectively trap debris. The valve operates at a maximum working pressure of 13 Kg/cm²g at 220°C and is tested to 26 Kg/cm²g. It is IBR certified, ensuring compliance with rigorous boiler regulations for steam distribution. Supplied, sized and serviced for steam systems across Nepal.
Features & Benefits
- Protects critical downstream components (pumps, steam traps, control valves) from scale, dirt, and foreign debris in steam lines.
- Bolted cover allows secure sealing and safe access to the strainer screen for maintenance without removing the unit from the piping.
- 1.2 mm SS 304 perforated screen provides an optimal surface area to minimize pressure drop while effectively capturing fine particulates.
- IBR certification guarantees material traceability and safe operation in high-pressure, regulated steam systems.
- Incorporated drain plug (in sizes 25mm and above) facilitates inline blowdown of accumulated sludge without requiring full system depressurization.
- Cast Iron IBR Gr.A construction ensures structural rigidity and thermal stability at continuous operating temperatures up to 220°C.
