Y Strainer Design

As it's name implies, a Y strainer is shaped like a “Y” and is used to filter, or strain, out particulates

from steam, gas or liquid. This mechanical straining process is made possible via a filter element comprised

of mesh, perforated metal, or a wedge wire straining element. The most common kind of straining element is

a wire mesh. Some also include “blow-off valves” that make the cleaning process easier in applications with more

substantial dirt blowing. The strainer itself has a compact, Y shaped design. The Y shape has better flow characteristics

than for example a T shaped strainer, because the fluid flows through the filter with less change of direction.

Why Use a Y Strainer?

In general, Y strainers are critical anywhere clean fluids are required. While clean fluids can help maximize the reliability

and lifespan of any mechanical system, they're especially important with solenoid valves. This is because solenoid valves

are very sensitive to dirt and will only function properly with clean liquids or air. If any solids enter the stream, it can disrupt

and even damage the entire system. Therefore, a Y strainer is a great complimentary component. In addition to protecting

the performance of solenoid valves, they also help safeguard other types of mechanical equipment, including:

• Pumps

• Turbines

• Spray nozzles

• Heat exchangers

• Condensers

• Steam traps

• Meters

A simple Y strainer can keep these components, which are some of the most valuable and expensive parts of the

pipeline, protected from the presences of pipe scale, rust, sediment or any other kind of extraneous debris.

Y strainers are available in a myriad of designs (and connection types) that can accommodate any industry or application.

Features:

Adopt stainless steel double layers mesh structure, strong and durable, low flow resistance, easy to discharge,

large amount of pollution and so on.
The body material is stainless steel and is mainly used in small diameter pipe equipment. Easy to install and disassemble,

reliable discharge performance It is mainly used in water, steam and other media, convenient to use and maintain. It is an

indispensable device for the piping system of conveying medium, usually installed in the inlet end of pressure reducing valve,

relief valve and fixed water level valve.
