The Y strainer is a simple device used in fluid control applications to remove solids and other debris from liquids and other mediums. These filters feature perforated or wire mesh elements that work efficiently to ensure cleaner and clearer pipelines. They play a crucial role in protecting downstream components like valves, pumps, steam traps, pressure regulators, process controls, and flow metres from the potentially harmful impact of particles in the fluid. They are also used in applications that have small quantities of impurities.
For years, Alter Valve has been the chosen Y strainer supplier for many industries in India. As one of the leading valve suppliers in India, we specialise in supplying high-quality Y-strainers, offering a cost-effective solution for efficiently eliminating waste, solids, and scales from liquid, gas, or steam pipelines. Our Y strainers are omnipresent in many industrial processes. They come equipped with a drain plug or valve to flush sediments efficiently from the bottom of the strainer.
Alter Valve provides a sturdy cap or a tapped cap option with a blow-off plug for convenient screen maintenance! Want to know more?
Generally, smaller-size Y strainers are more affordable than other types of strainers.
The Y strainer has two metal plates fixed with bolts or gaskets. When choosing these devices, look for the following criteria:
Y strainers are designed to work in liquid and steam chambers, although they can also be used in other systems. As the medium passes through the strainer, it effectively removes any debris, resulting in a noticeable decrease in liquid pressure. This is referred to as a “pressure drop”. Additionally, the two metal plates seal any liquid from flowing out of the chamber and prevent the filtered and unfiltered liquids from mixing.
As a result, the strainer mesh effectively captures any impurities found in the liquid, ensuring they are kept out of the rest of the system.
