Y Type Strainer Valves Manufacturers In India

Forxar Industries are the best Y Type Strainer Valves Manufacturers In India. These valves come with a full range of benefits over some other valves.

Y-Strainers are used for mechanically filtering and eliminating unwanted solids from liquid, gas or steam lines with the help of a perforated or wire mesh straining element.

The y strainer is normally used where the material to be collected is in small amount. This strainer can be installed in the horizontal or vertical position. The basket must be to the bottom of the pipe or facing the down flow direction to collect the particles. A y strainer can come with a blow-off connection for automatic cleaning. With liquids, y strainers have a greater pressure drop than basket strainers because of their size (comparing same sizes). However, with gases a y strainer has a relatively low-pressure drop.

What Is A Strainer & Why Is It Required

Strainers are a very important component of the piping systems as they help in protecting the equipment from potential damage which can be caused due to dirt and other particles in the process fluid.

Strainers (STR) are basically closed vessels that collect solid particles to be separated while passing a fluid through a removable screen. The screens can collect particles down to 0.001 inch in diameter. They can also remove wanted materials that can be used elsewhere or in other processes.

Strainers can be found upstream of sensitive equipment such as meters, pumps, compressors, traps, valves and filters.

Strainers can be found in almost every industry: chemical, food, water, petroleum, paint and etc.

Strainers come in different configurations such as Y Strainers, Simplex Strainers, Duplex Strainers and Temporary Strainers. They can be bolted, threaded or welded in line.

Benefits Of Y-Type Strainer Valves

• Y-Type Strainer Valves are easy to operate and long lasting.
• What makes Y-type strainer valves the preferred choice is their light weight and compact size.
• They are sustainable and cost-effective because the components are easily interchangeable with another one of the same type.
• Easy to clean
• Low maintenance
• Fire friendly
• Carbon steel or Stainless steel body

How Does A Y-Type Strainer Valves Work

A size 2” Y-type strainer valve is made up of a flanged blow-off cover, gasket and plug. Y-type strainers of size 1 1/2” and smaller come with solid threaded cover and gasket.

In a Y-type strainer valve, there is a machined, tapered seat that ensures a perfect fit for the removable, stainless steel screen. This type of valves are usually installed in vertical or horizontal pipelines with blow-off connection at the lower end of the screen.

Applications Of Y-Type Strainer Valves

• Some of the most common applications are pump protection, flow meter protection, valve and regulator protection, protection of heat exchanger and refrigerating set, protecting stream traps and instrumentation and ancillary piping item protection.
• They are used in pipelines to protect pumps, meters, control valves, steam traps, regulators and other process equipment.
• For applications with heavier dirt loading, Y-Strainers can be fitted with a “blow-off” connection that permits the screen to be cleaned without removing it from the strainer body.
• Y-Strainers are used in a wide variety of liquid straining applications to protect downstream process system components in many industries, including: chemical processing, petroleum, power generation and marine.
• Water handling applications, where Y-Strainers are used to protect equipment that could be damaged or clogged by unwanted sand, gravel or other debris, are very common
• Y-Strainer is considered for steam applications as well. Its compact, cylindrical shape is very strong and can handle high pressures. It is, literally, a pressure vessel.
• Besides steam, Y-Strainers are often used in air and natural gas applications. Here again, high pressures are not uncommon.
