AAP Cast Iron Y Strainer, 12"

This AAP cast iron flanged Y strainer has an epoxy coated cast iron body and cover, a 304 stainless steel screen, a graphite gasket and flanges to AS 2129 Table E. It is supplied in 10 sizes from 2" (50mm) to 14" (350mm).

A Y strainer is fitted in line to protect control equipment, instruments, pumps and regulators. Fluid passes through a perforated stainless steel or wire mesh basket held in a Y shaped body. The basket traps fines and solids, which fall into the leg of the body. The leg can be flushed out while the plant is running if a ball valve is fitted to it, or the basket can be taken out for cleaning when the plant is shut down. The screen openings are 1.5mm diameter holes at 4.5mm spacing for 50mm to 150mm strainers, giving an effective open area of 33 per cent of the inlet pipe, and 3mm diameter holes at 7.5mm spacing for 200mm to 300mm strainers, giving 44 per cent.
