China DI CI SS304 Flange Connection Y Strainer Manufacturer, Exporter

Y-type flange filter is a necessary filter equipment for hydraulic control valve and precise mechanical products. It is usually installed at the inlet of hydraulic control valve and other equipment to prevent particulate impurities from entering into the channel, resulting in blockage, so that the valve or other equipment can not be used normally. The strainer has the advantages of simple structure, small flow resistance,and can remove dirt on line without removal. 

Product Description

Overview & Filtration Principles

Of course, a Y-strainer won't work properly without a properly sized mesh filter. To find the right filter for your project or job, it's important to understand the basics of screen meshes and screen sizes. There are two terms used to describe the size of the opening in the filter through which debris passes. One is microns and the other is grid size. While these are two different measurements, they describe the same thing.

Y-strainers use perforated or wire mesh strainers to mechanically remove solids from flowing steam, gas or liquid piping systems and are used to protect equipment. From simple low pressure cast iron threaded filters to large high pressure special alloy units with custom cover designs.

Generally speaking, a Y-strainer is critical wherever cleaning fluids are required. While clean fluids help maximize the reliability and longevity of any mechanical system, they are especially important for solenoid valves. This is because solenoid valves are very sensitive to dirt and only work properly in clean liquids or air. If any solids get into the stream, it can damage or even damage the entire system. Therefore, the Y-strainer is a good complementary part.

Key Features & Performance Advantages

The shape is beautiful, and the pressure test hole is preset on the body.
Easy and fast to use. The threaded plug on the valve body can be replaced with a ball valve according to the user's request, and its outlet can be connected to the sewage pipe, so that the sewage can be dredged under pressure without removing the valve cover.
Filters with different filtration precisions can be provided according to user requirements, making the cleaning of the filter more convenient.
The design of the fluid channel is scientific and reasonable, the flow resistance is small, and the flow rate is large. The total area of the grid is 3-4 times the DN.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main function of a Y-strainer?

Y-strainers use perforated or wire mesh strainers to mechanically remove solid particles from flowing steam, gas, or liquid piping systems, protecting sensitive downstream equipment from potential damage.

How are screen opening sizes defined?

Filter screen openings are commonly described using two units of measurement: microns and grid size (mesh). Although they are different units, both define the opening dimension through which debris passes.

Why are Y-strainers particularly critical for solenoid valves?

Solenoid valves are highly sensitive to dirt and particulate contamination and require clean liquid or air to function properly. Solids entering the fluid stream can cause malfunctions or damage the entire mechanical assembly.

Can the strainer be blown down without removing the valve cover?

Yes. The threaded plug on the body can be replaced with a ball valve connected to a sewage pipe, allowing the strainer to be dredged and cleaned under line pressure without dismantling the valve cover.

What sizes and pressure standards are supported?

Standard sizes range from DN50 to DN600 with pressure ratings of PN10, PN16, and CL150, conforming to ASME B16.5 CL150 and EN1092 connection standards.

What materials are used for the body and internal screen?

Valve bodies are available in WCB, TP304, TP316, and TP316L, while internal filter screens are manufactured from stainless steel grades SS304, SS316, and SS316L.
