How to Choose the Best Y Strainer Screen

Choose the Accurate Filtration Precision

The strainer screen is usually made by wire cloth, perforated metal or expanded metal. You need to choose the appropriate and accurate mesh opening for the filter material. The specification of wire cloth is called mesh, and the specification of perforated metal and expanded metal is called hole size.

There is a second effect worth knowing. The thicker the wire diameter of the wire cloth, the longer the service time. The thicker the sheet of the perforated metal, the longer the service time.

Check the Structure of the Strainer Screen

First, check the OD and length of the screen cylinder to make sure it can be inserted into the Y type device properly.

Second, check the mesh opening. The opening must be uniform across the whole screen.

Last, the place of the seam welding must not be damaged by a strong welding current. The spacing of the seam is set according to the OD of the screen cylinder. Filtration is limited when the spacing is too large, and the structure is not strong enough when the spacing is too small.

Keep the Screen in Service

Strainer Screen is necessary in the Y strainer. Cleaned and replaced in good time, it protects the capability of the whole system.
