Y-type strainer is an essential device in pipeline systems for conveying media. It is usually installed at the inlet of pressure reducing valves, pressure relief valves, level control valves, or other equipment to remove impurities from the medium and protect the valves and equipment from normal use. The strainer has the characteristics of advanced structure, low resistance, and convenient sewage discharge. It is suitable for water, oil, and gas media. The general mesh size of the strainer is 30 mesh/cm2 and 60 mesh/cm2.
Working principle:
The working principle of the Y-type strainer is that when the fluid passes through the strainer, impurities are blocked by the strainer element in the strainer, and the ideal fluid is discharged from the outlet of the strainer, achieving the purpose of purification.
Application range:
The Y-type strainer is suitable for filtering liquid and gas materials in industries such as chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, light industry, medicine, and food. It is usually installed in pipelines before pumps, compressors, or flow meters to protect such equipment and instruments, improve product purity, and purify the medium.
Installation and maintenance:
The Y-type strainer can be installed horizontally or vertically. The inlet and outlet directions should be consistent with the direction of the arrow on the valve body. After the strainer works for a period of time, impurities will accumulate in the strainer element, which will increase pressure drop and decrease flow velocity. It is necessary to remove impurities from the strainer element in time.
