Suction strainer

From GAWDAwiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Suction strainers are used to protect pumps from contaminants that could cause them to fail. Pump suction strainers come in four basic configurations:

  • Basket strainers are recommended for use under moderate pressure and temperature conditions.
  • Cone strainers (pointed or truncated) are typically used only during startup and then removed.
  • Tee type strainers are available in bolted-blind or hinged-cover models.
  • Y strainers are ideal for high-pressure and/or high-temperature applications.
