Valvesonly is a leading Y strainer valve manufacturer in USA . In gas, liquids, pressurised lines, as well as suction and vacuum conditions, a Y Strainer is commonly used. Y-Strainers are made for applications that contain small amounts of solid particulate and need little cleaning. If solids can be easily flushed from the screen and fluid can be exhausted to atmosphere, a blow-down valve on the drain port can allow clean-out without removing the screen or interrupting the process flow. The filter is attached to the main pipe at a diagonal angle in a Y strainer, giving the strainer its "y" form. Y strainer valves are most commonly found in steam, liquid, or gas, but they may also be used in vacuum or suction. They usually have a lower dirt keeping ability than "T" strainers. Cleaning is needed on a regular basis. They can be set up in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
Description:
- Body Material: Cast iron, Cast steel, CF8, CF8M.
- Class: 150/PN16.
- Size: 1”- 14”.
The Y Strainers come in different materials and sizes like Brass Y Strainer, Awwa Y Strainer.
Advantages of Y STRAINERS:
- They are less costly.
- Available in different materials for different uses.
- The flexibility of the y type strainer is perhaps its most significant advantage. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally, depending on the preferences of the users.
Industries that can use Y Strainers:
- Carbon steel Y strainers are used in Oil industry.
- Carbon steel Y strainers are used in Petrochemical industry.
- Used in air and natural gas application.
Valvesonly is a leading Y strainer manufacturer in USA. When debris such as scale, rust, and other materials mix with water, oil, gas, air, steam, or other media and flow through a pipeline, it can damage valve seats, causing shortened valve life and equipment failure. Using the right strainers at the right locations is critical for protecting expensive and critical downstream equipment such as pumps, flow metres, steam traps, control valves, and so on.
