Liquid & solids
Identify the liquid, solids type, particle size and expected solids loading.
PRODUCT / LIQUID STRAINING
Pipeline Strainers
Particle removal for liquid process lines.
Screen-based removal of solid particles from liquid pipelines. Review particle size, pressure loss and access for cleaning.
Body type, screen construction, materials and operating limits are confirmed against the proposed design.

APPLICATION REVIEW
Keep unwanted particles out of the next process step.
Discuss straining duties in industrial water and compatible process-liquid lines, including upstream protection of pumps, valves or other equipment where appropriate.
A screen retains particles according to its opening and construction. It does not remove dissolved substances. Selection must balance retention needs, pressure loss and cleaning access.
ENQUIRY INPUTS
Specify the duty before the hardware.
Flow & pressure loss
Provide minimum, normal and maximum flow plus the allowable clean and operating pressure loss.
Screen opening
Specify the required screen opening or mesh standard and the equipment to be protected.
Pressure & temperature
Provide operating and design conditions, including possible pressure surges.
Connections & materials
State pipe size, flange or thread standard, wetted materials and gasket compatibility requirements.
Access & cleaning
Describe installation orientation, available space, isolation arrangements and cleaning frequency requirements.
Plan for installation and routine care.
Check the drawing
Confirm dimensions, connection rating, flow direction and pipe support before installation.
Leave service space
Allow clearance for opening and screen removal, using the approved design and maintenance instructions.
Agree a cleaning plan
Review pressure-loss monitoring and cleaning intervals for the actual solids loading.

Can I select a strainer from pipe size alone?
No. Flow, viscosity, solids loading, screen opening and allowable pressure loss also affect selection.
Is this a bag filter or a precision filter?
This page covers pipeline strainers. A particular body type, bag-filter configuration or micron-removal guarantee is not implied; confirm the proposed design and duty before purchase.
Does it need cleaning?
Yes. Collected particles increase flow resistance. Agree an inspection and cleaning plan for the process. Isolate, depressurize, drain and cool the equipment as appropriate before opening, following the approved instructions.
Which documents should I request?
Request the outline drawing, screen specification, material details, design conditions and the inspection documents required by your project. Confirm availability before ordering.
