Smith Meter® E-Type Steel Strainers are necessary to provide protection for metering systems against dirt and other foreign material. The large screen area and stream- lined flow path (10° slant) minimize pressure drop. The sturdy basket can withstand a 50 psi differential without bursting and is easily removed for cleaning.
Features • Streamlined flow path for lower pressure drop. • Large screen area for less frequent cleaning. • Separable inner basket for easy cleaning. • Pressure Taps (1/2 NPT) upstream and downstream nozzles. • Flow Orientation can be installed horizontally or vertically. • Drain threaded NPT
