Shape |
The strainer is shaped like a "T," with the inlet and outlet forming the arms of the "T" and the filter element located in the central body of the "T." |
Body Material |
Typically constructed from materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or other alloys, depending on the application and environment. |
Filter Element |
Usually a mesh screen, perforated plate, or a combination of both, designed to capture particles of varying sizes. |
End Connections |
Available in various types including flanged, threaded, or welded connections to fit different piping systems. |
Cap |
Often removable for easy access to the filter element for cleaning or replacement. |
Function |
The T strainer operates by directing the fluid or gas through the filter element housed in the central body of the "T." As the fluid flows through the screen or perforated plate, debris and particles are captured, and the filtered fluid continues to flow out through the other arm of the "T." This prevents contaminants from reaching and damaging downstream equipment. |
