DESIGN FEATURES

  • Large filtration basket capacity
  • Low pressure drop across strainer
  • Heavy duty industrial construction
  • Easy top cover removal for cleaning
  • Replaceable stainless steel basket
  • Drain connection available
  • Suitable for high flow pipelines

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Basket strainers operate by allowing the process fluid to flow through a perforated or mesh basket installed inside the strainer body. During operation:

  1. Fluid enters the strainer body
  2. Contaminants are captured inside the basket
  3. Clean fluid exits the outlet pipeline

Collected debris can be removed by opening the top cover and cleaning the basket.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the primary function of a Basket Strainer? +
A basket strainer removes solid contaminants from pipeline fluids to protect downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and heat exchangers.
2. How does a Basket Strainer differ from a Y Type Strainer? +
Basket strainers have larger filtration capacity and are suitable for high-flow systems, while Y strainers are compact and used in smaller pipelines.
3. What is the typical pressure drop across a clean Basket Strainer? +
For clean baskets, the pressure drop is generally 0.03 to 0.15 bar, depending on flow rate and mesh size.
4. What factors influence the pressure drop in a basket strainer? +
Pressure drop depends on: Flow velocity Filtration mesh size Basket surface area Fluid viscosity
5. What is the recommended mesh size for industrial basket strainers? +
Typical mesh sizes include: 40 mesh for coarse filtration 60 mesh for medium filtration 80–100 mesh for fine filtration
6. What materials are used for basket construction? +
Baskets are typically manufactured from stainless steel SS304 or SS316.
7. What industries use basket strainers most frequently? +
Basket strainers are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, water treatment, and chemical industries.
8. What is the maximum size available for basket strainers? +
Standard sizes are available up to DN 300, while sizes up to DN 600 can be manufactured on request.
9. What pressure classes are available? +
Basket strainers are commonly manufactured in Class 150 and Class 300.
10. How often should the basket be cleaned? +
Cleaning frequency depends on contamination level in the pipeline and system operating conditions.
11. What happens if the basket becomes clogged? +
Clogging increases pressure drop and reduces system flow capacity.
12. Can basket strainers be used for steam systems? +
Yes, basket strainers can be used in steam pipelines depending on material selection.
13. Are basket strainers suitable for corrosive fluids? +
Yes, corrosion-resistant materials such as SS316 are used for corrosive media.
14. How is debris removed from basket strainers? +
Debris is removed by opening the strainer cover and removing the basket for cleaning.
15. Can differential pressure gauges be installed with strainers? +
Yes, differential pressure gauges help monitor screen clogging.
16. What is the advantage of large filtration area in basket strainers? +
A larger filtration area reduces pressure drop and extends cleaning intervals.
17. What type of fluids can basket strainers handle? +
They can handle water, oil, chemicals, hydrocarbons, and other industrial fluids.
18. Are drain connections available in basket strainers? +
Yes, drain connections may be provided to remove debris without removing the basket.
19. Can custom filtration baskets be supplied? +
Yes, custom perforation and mesh combinations can be provided.
20. How is the correct basket strainer selected? +
Selection depends on pipeline size, pressure class, flow rate, filtration requirement, and process media.
