strainers applications
Armstrong® Strainers have a wide range of industrial applications. In addition to oil and water services, the strainers are suitable for removing impurities from many process fluids. A strainer is an inexpensive "insurance" for protecting valuable pumps or valves.There is often unwanted matter present, which can cause serious problems. Dirt or foreign matter can clog or damage critical and expensive equipment. Another factor to consider is the cost of downtime. STRAINERS are the solution.
Water
The most popular application. From waste and water treatment, boiler feed pumps, condensate service, irrigation and general and intermediate water service.
Petrochemical
Strainers Application in petrochemicals for Refining crude oil to gasoline. Protection of pumps, meters, etc.
Utilities
Protection for heat exchangers, pumps and condensers, strain cooling water, screen transformer oil, etc.
Chemical Plants
Separation of solid impurities from liquid. Protection of process equipment.
Process Equipments
Protection of vital equipment such as flow meters, spray nozzles, heat exchangers, condensers, pumps, etc.
Marine
General filtration of seawater in cooling, fire system and general cleaning of lines.
Basket & Screen Data
Basket Screen Data
- Designed t0 be b0th effective and durable, the basket 0r screen is the heart 0f an Armstr0ng®
- Armstr0ng®supplies baskets f0r simplex and duplex strainers, and screens f0r Y strainers, in standard and heavy-duty designs.
- Standard design baskets meet the needs 0f m0st
- Armstr0ng®rec0mmends the heavy-duty design in cases when straining an extremely high visc0sity material 0r experiencing a high s0lids l0ad.
- Baskets and screens are available in many
- These materials c0ver nearly all c0rr0si0n resistance levels needed in strainer
- A wide range 0f perf0rati0ns and mesh pr0vides rem0val 0f s0lids t0 as l0w as 20
Basket Construction
- Each style basket includes a perf0rated sheet inducti0n welded t0 a rigid t0p ring and s0lid b0tt0m Special attenti0n t0 the welds al0ng the perf0rated sheet seam, prevent the p0ssible bypass 0f s0lids and maintain the basket’s strength.
- A handle, welded t0 the I.D. 0f the t0p ring, facilitates easy
Screen Constuction
- Y strainer screens, r0lled t0 f0rm a perfect cylinder, are inducti0n welded al0ng the seam
- A neat weld, applied al0ng the perf0rated sheet seam, prevents the p0ssible bypass 0f s0lids and pr0vides a seam 0f acceptable strength
- Y strainer screen seats t0 specific dimensi0ns and, acc0rdingly, b0th the D. and length 0f these screens have a cl0sely tolerance.
Perforated Plate Specification
• Armstr0ng® baskets utilize perf0rated sheets because 0f their greater inherent strength and resistance t0 stress cracking.
• The 0bjective is t0 select a perf0rati0n with the best 0pen area, h0le arrangement and sheet thickness.
• The 0bjective is t0 select a perf0rati0n with the best 0pen area, h0le arrangement and sheet thickness.
Wire Mesh Specifications
• Armstr0ng® strainers are available with w0ven wire mesh screens.
• Wire mesh pr0vides smaller 0penings f0r very fine straining applicati0ns d0wn t0 20 micr0ns.
• Baskets and screens use m0n0filament mesh p0ssessing equal wire size and wire c0unt in b0th directi0ns t0 pr0duce square 0penings.
• As with perf0rated sheet, the best wire mesh selecti0n is a balance 0f 0pen area and wire diameter.
• Wire mesh pr0vides smaller 0penings f0r very fine straining applicati0ns d0wn t0 20 micr0ns.
