Custom Basket Strainer

We regularly fabricate flange rings and cone strainers to suit virtually all flange standards including the following. Please specify the flange type when enquiry to ensure clearance between the bolt pattern.

The schedule number on pipe products relates to the thickness of the wall on the pipe. As the number increases, the thicker the wall thickness becomes.

When requesting a quotation please specify the pipe schedule being used. This in important to ensure there is sufficient clearance at the base of the Cone Strainer.

One of the most important design considerations when purchasing a basket strainer is specifying the perforation or mesh size of the straining element.

In general, screen openings should be approximately one-half the diameter of the largest allowable particle. The largest allowable particle is defined as the size of particle that can pass through downstream equipment without causing damage.

A critical consideration when sizing a basket strainer is the amount of free open area. This is the ratio of the open area through the strainer screen to the cross sectional area of the pipe.

We can size a cone strainer to match your minimum Open Area Ratio requirement and provide a data sheet and submittal drawing for consideration.

Commonly requested ratios include: >100%, >150%, >200%, >250%, >300%
