Vertical In-Line Strainers

Description
Strainers are installed in pipelines ahead of
meters, pumps, valves and other flow stream
equipment for protection against intrusion of
pipe scale, welding spatter and other foreign
material. The use of a properly sized strainer,
together with a basket of suitable mesh,
reduces maintenance and the chance of system
failure due to foreign material in the flowing
stream.
Brodie Vertical In-Line Strainers are available in
sizes 2” - 24” for maximum working pressures
up to 1480 psi (10,197 kPa).
When it is known that large amounts of lint or
iron oxide are present in a flowing stream, a
large strainer should be used. Resins, gums or
varnishes, present in the stream, will also cause
the strainer basket to clog prematurely. Larger
size foreign matter such as pebbles, welding
beads, etc., should be removed at frequent
intervals to prevent abrasive action from
damaging the basket screen.
