STRAINER DESCRIPTION
Designed according to ANSI B16.34 the strainer bodies are produced with a superior wallthickness for corrosion allowance. Standard stainers are equipped with screens for the average service of most mediums ( steam, gas, air, oil, chemicals , ect. ). The large screen open area ensures an efficent filtering action with a low pressure drop. Filtering area to inlet area ratio is larger than 3 to 1 . Screens area manufactured with perforated plate in the materials and with the perforation specified in the relevant tables . Screens with different perforation ( or wire mesh ) and materials may be manufactured on request.

HOW TO SERVICE
Strainer maintenace should be made at least once year, or whenever the pressure drop is found to be in excess of the normal figures. A quick clean-up system, to made approximately once a mounth. For a complete maintenance follow the points herebelow:
- Be sure that the main line has been shut-off
- Untighten cover stud bolts (5) and nuts (6) and remove cover [ blind flange ] (2) and gasket (4)
