Simplex basket strainers are used when liquids require regular or frequent cleaning, and when the line can be shut down for short periods to clean or change the basket.
Basket strainers need substantially more material than Y-Type / T Type Strainers and offer a lower pressure drop. Installed upright, in a horizontal line, the basket strainer lifts out from the top. This makes it easier to use with gummy or sticky fluids or with large pipeline sizes where the filled basket weight can be considerable.
A reason for its popularity is the unusually large basket capacity. The free straining area with a perforated basket is a minimum of six times the cross sectional pipe area. No tools are needed to open the cover. On sizes 4" and larger, a special cover clamp is provided to distribute the seating pressure and to ensure positive seating of the cover.
Ultra Cure provides exceptionally heavy Wall thicknesses & precision machined basket seats to give a tight seal and prevent any material from bypassing the basket. The convoluted (pleated) perforated or mesh screens in the basket increases the amount of straining area available while reducing the basket size and weight. This makes it easy to remove the basket from the strainer housing.
When selecting a pipeline strainer for a large size piping system with high flow rates, be sure to consider all the factors, not just initial pressure loss. The amount of straining area in the basket is critical to reducing the amount of time between cleanings or change outs.
