Used in areas that require frequent and automatic distribution of water into floor drain traps to maintain the water seal. This will prevent sewer gas from entering the area through the floor drains. A minimum of two ounces of water are supplied per opening at 20 PSIG once in every 24 hour period.

A Y strainer is a type of mechanical filter used in pipelines to remove unwanted solids from liquids, gases, or steam. It is named for its Y-shaped design, which allows it to be installed in either horizontal or vertical pipelines. This type of filter is essential in numerous fluid control applications to ensure that particles within the fluid do not negatively affect any downstream component.

Different kinds of Y strainers on the market are designed to meet various industry needs. Keep the following criteria in mind:

Refunds We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

Wyestrainer mesh size

It's important to take the time to size the mesh filter correctly. A mesh filter that is too small or too large can negatively affect the system. If the filter is too small, there will be a higher pressure drop from inlet to outlet. Additionally, removing too much debris from the flow can clog the filter and increase the pressure drop. If the filter is too large, the performance and life span of the downstream equipment can be negatively affected.

Natural gas and air applications tend to have a low operating pressure, so proper sizing to reduce a pressure drop from inlet to outlet is important.

The material section above mentions several common Y strainer applications. This section offers more. A Y strainer is most valuable in an environment that requires constant protection from debris and contamination. Some of the most common applications are the following.

A micron (micrometer) is a unit of length used to measure tiny particles. On a scale of one-thousandth of a millimeter, it is about one 25-thousandth of an inch.

A strainer's mesh size indicates how many openings there are in the mesh across one linear inch. The ratings typically range from a size 3 mesh screen with 6,730 microns to a size 400 mesh screen with 37 microns.

Select the housing material based on the application's environment. To do this, it's necessary to understand the chemical resistances of the materials.

Any solids entering a system can disrupt and even damage it entirely. Clean fluids can help maximize the reliability and lifespan of any mechanical system. For example, solenoid valves, susceptible to dirt, require clean media. In addition to protecting the performance of solenoid valves, Y strainers also help safeguard other mechanical equipment, including:

These strainers are a go-to resource in most steam applications, as their shape is built to handle the high pressure that exists in these environments.

There is no one-size-fits-all Y strainer that meets every need. That's why it's important to understand the application requirements before selecting a strainer.

It can be difficult to conceptualize microns and mesh size. Therefore, it can be helpful to see examples of the mesh sizes of certain particles, as shown in Table 2.

Liquid applications tend to become infiltrated by sand and gravel, and Y strainers can help keep those particles out to ensure the liquid stays clean. Especially when they work in tandem with other water-handling applications, these strainers can protect important (and expensive) equipment from damage, corrosion, or clogs that could result from such contamination.

Pipeline strainer

There are various material options for the strainer's housing and seal: brass and stainless steel are commonly used for the housing and PTFE and Teflon are commonly used for the seal.

As its name implies, a Y strainer is shaped like a Y. Its mechanical straining process is possible because of a filter element composed of mesh (the most common type), perforated metal, or a wedge wire straining element. Some strainers also include blow-off valves that make cleaning easier in applications with more substantial dirt.

Exchanges The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

A mesh filter Y strainer cannot function properly without an appropriately sized mesh filter. Two terms describe the size of the openings in the strainer through which debris passes: micron and mesh size. Though these are two different measurements, they describe the same thing.

Y strainers have an arrow from the inlet to the outlet. It is important to install them in this orientation for proper filtration.

A simple Y strainer can protect these components, some of the pipeline's most valuable and expensive parts, from pipe scale, rust, sediment, or other debris.
