Basket Strainer
Spectra offers QWP model Basket Strainer which are installed into a pipeline system to remove unwanted debris from the pipeline flow. In comparison to Y Strainers, Basket Strainers are commonly used in pipelines where debris loading is high and the collection of solids is required. Simplex Basket Strainers can be installed in a series to provide more effective filtration of unwanted debris. Straining of the pipeline flow is accomplished via a perforated or mesh lined basket, internal to the strainer. In general, the size of the basket perforation should be slightly smaller than the smallest debris particle to be removed. QWP provides Basket strainer in Casted and Fabricated type.
