/ Specifications
Duplex Strainers
Size
- Not explicitly mentioned; referred to as “depending upon their NB size”
- Typically available across a wide size range, suitable for high-flow applications
Connections
- Configured with butterfly valves
- Custom-fabricated with user-specified valve types and connections
Pressure Ratings
- Not specifically stated, but capable of operating in negative head pump suction systems, indicating compatibility with both low and moderate pressure environments
Body Materials
- Not explicitly listed, but typically fabricated to custom specifications, implying availability in carbon steel, stainless steel, and other industrial-grade materials
Advantages
- Continuous filtration without interrupting flow
- Bubble-tight shutoff between chambers – ideal for suction-side applications
- Customizable to meet specific requirements (size, valves, materials)
- Economical due to tailored fabrication
- Low maintenance and easy to clean
- Optional automation for self-cleaning operation
- Provides longer operational uptime
Filter / Mesh Options
- Twin basket system allowing one strainer to be in use while the other is cleaned
- Capable of filtering up to 40 microns (µm)
- Some models include automatic self-cleaning functions
Applications
- Designed for continuous flow systems where shutdown is not possible
- Used in fuel, oil, and water pipelines
- Common in systems handling solid particulate contamination
- Ideal for industries requiring uninterrupted operations and frequent cleaning
