Piping Strainers (or filters) arrest debris such as scale, rust, jointing compound, and weld metal in pipelines, protecting equipment and processes. A strainer is a device that provides a means of mechanically removing solids from a flowing fluid or gas in a pipeline by utilizing a perforated or mesh straining element. Pipe Strainers are very important components in piping systems to protect costly equipment from potential damage caused by foreign particles carried by the process fluid. Piping Strainers are also known as Strainer Filters.

The following figure shows various types of pipe strainers normally used in Pump or Compressor Suction lines in the process piping industry.

To ensure against the untimely shutdown of equipment, strainers should be installed ahead of pumps, loading valves, control valves, meters, steam traps, turbines, compressors, solenoid valves, nozzles, pressure regulators, burners, unit heaters, and other sensitive equipment. The most common range of strainer particle retention is 1 inch to 40 microns (0.00156 inches ).

Depending on the use, two types of strainers are found in industries.

• Permanent Strainers and
• Temporary Strainers

These strainers will be installed permanently in the piping system. Examples of permanent strainers are

• Y type Strainers
• POT type Strainers
• Basket Type Strainers( Simplex & Duplex Construction)
