Product Overview | Y-Type Strainers
8555Y Gas, Oil, Oxygen or Steam strainers are used in high pressure supply lines to prevent dirt and debris from damaging or jamming regulators, valves and other gas train accessories. In oil and steam lines, strainers help to screen out foreign particles that otherwise could reach the burner oil atomizer. Strainer bodies are available in cast iron, carbon steel (epoxy painted to help resist rust and corrosion) and stainless steel. Bodies can be threaded or socket welded (limited sizes available) in smaller pipe sizes or flanged in larger pipe sizes. Strainer screens are available in 304 (standard) or 316 (special order) or monel (oxygen service). Blow down cover is either threaded or bolted, depending on pipe size and strainer style. Maximum working pressures vary depending on pipe size, materials of construction, operating temperature and fluid media being handled.
The new 8555Y Strainer line provides many unique features:
— High pressure and temperature designs for rugged industrial applications
— Precision machining of body and cover help to ensure accurate positioning of the screen during reassembly after cleaning, helping to prevent debris bypass.
— Flanged bodies are provided with gauge taps to measure differential pressures to determine if cleaning is required.
— Y strainers can be mounted in vertical and horizontal pipe. Vertical pipe runs are for downward flow only.
CANADIAN REGISTRATION NUMBER (CRN)
When strainers require CRN, order the steel bodied versions. Cast iron strainers do not carry CRN.
