WORKING PRINCIPLE

The T Type Strainer works by directing the process fluid through a filtration element installed inside the strainer body. During operation:

  • Fluid enters the inlet side
  • Contaminants are captured inside the screen
  • Clean fluid exits through the outlet

Accumulated debris can be removed by opening the strainer cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a T Type Strainer? +
A T Type Strainer is a pipeline filtration device used to remove solid particles from fluids in large industrial pipelines.
2. How does a T Type Strainer differ from a Y Type Strainer? +
T Type Strainers provide larger filtration area and higher debris capacity, making them suitable for large pipelines and high flow systems.
3. What pressure classes are available? +
Typical pressure ratings include Class 150 and Class 300.
4. What is the maximum available size? +
Standard sizes go up to DN 300, while sizes up to DN 600 are available on request.
5. What materials are used for the strainer body? +
Common materials include WCB, SS304, and SS316.
6. What is the function of the filtration screen? +
The screen traps solid particles while allowing clean fluid to pass through.
7. What mesh sizes are commonly used? +
Typical mesh sizes are 40, 60, 80, and 100 mesh.
8. What is the typical pressure drop across a clean strainer? +
Pressure drop generally ranges between 0.05 and 0.2 bar, depending on flow conditions.
9. What industries commonly use T Type Strainers? +
Oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, and water treatment industries.
10. Can T Type Strainers handle high flow rates? +
Yes, they are specifically designed for high flow pipeline systems.
11. What type of fluids can be filtered? +
Water, oil, gas, chemicals, steam, and other compatible industrial fluids.
12. How often should the strainer be cleaned? +
Cleaning frequency depends on contamination levels in the fluid.
13. Can strainers be installed before pumps? +
Yes, they are commonly installed upstream of pumps to prevent damage.
14. What happens if the strainer becomes clogged? +
Clogging increases pressure drop and reduces flow capacity.
15. Can differential pressure gauges be used? +
Yes, they help monitor strainer clogging.
16. Are custom filtration screens available? +
Yes, custom perforation and mesh sizes can be provided.
17. Are strainers suitable for corrosive fluids? +
Yes, corrosion-resistant materials such as SS316 can be used.
18. Do T Type Strainers require frequent maintenance? +
Maintenance frequency depends on fluid contamination levels.
19. Can strainers be installed in vertical pipelines? +
They are typically recommended for horizontal installation.
20. How is the correct strainer size selected? +
The strainer size should match pipeline diameter and required flow capacity
