T Strainer is installed into a pipeline
system to remove unwanted debris from the pipeline flow. In comparison to Y
Strainers, T Strainers are commonly used in pipelines where debris loading is
high and the collection of solids is required. T Strainers can be installed in
a series to provide more effective filtration of unwanted debris. Straining of
the pipeline flow is accomplished via a perforated or mesh lined screen,
internal to the strainer. In general, the size of the screen perforation should
be slightly smaller than the smallest debris particle to be removed. If the
basket perforation is undersized, the basket may require excessive cleaning.
Consequently, if the screen perforation is oversized, unwanted debris may be
permitted to flow through the pipeline, possibly damaging downstream equipment.
The correct size of T Strainer is determined by its job function, not by the size of the pipeline. Prior to selection of a vatac
T Strainer, the following factors must be determined.
» Material construction requirements of the T
Strainer
» Design and working pressure/temperature
requirements
» Operating conditions (throttling, pressure drop,
condensation, flow reversal, operation frequency, etc.)
» Service media type (liquid, gas, abrasive, corrosive,
dirty, etc)
» Pipeline Media Flow-rate and Viscosity
» Debris Size to be removed and debris loading of the
pipeline
» Ability to interrupt flow for servicing and
cleaning
» Clean Start-up Pressure of the Pipeline
» Space
availability for installation
