“T” TYPE STRAINER FT 900 to 1500lbs
Our fabricated Tee Type Strainers have been specifically designed to meet all customer requirements including for high pressure applications. Standard strainers are equipped with screens for the average service of most mediums (steam, gas, air, oil, chemicals etc). The large screen open area ensures an efficient filtering action with a low pressure drop. Filtering area to inlet area ratio is larger than 3:1. Standard features include low pressure drops at high velocities; stainless steel perforated baskets as standard; vents and drains with the possibility to supply Davit lifts; quick open closures, DP gauges. We are also able to manufacture against customer requests in all types of sizes and materials
