Piping Strainers and Piping Filters in Texas
Pipeline filters, also known as piping strainers, are an important component in piping systems. A pipeline strainer filter protects the expensive equipment in your system from potentially devastating damage. These filters remove harmful debris and unwanted particles from the process fluid. This debris could be rust, scale, welding slag, jointing compound, or any of a myriad of foreign objects. Whatever form they take, particles or debris pose a significant risk to your equipment.
If debris is not removed from the process fluid in a timely manner, it can seriously damage components of your system, necessitating costly unscheduled maintenance, repairs, or equipment replacement, not to mention the expense of lost revenue resulting from the unplanned downtime.
Pipeline strainers are often installed ahead of dynamic, vibration-prone equipment, such as pumps, turbines, compressors, and certain valves, as they are particularly vulnerable to damage from granular debris in the process fluid. Strainers can also be placed ahead of static equipment, including meters, steam traps, nozzles, and heat exchangers. In short, these piping filters are used anywhere that unexpected debris in the process fluid would pose a problem.
Pipeline Strainers for Process Industries in Texas
Olds Filtration can provide your process industry business in Texas with high-quality, affordable basket-type strainers. A basket or bucket strainer is essentially a closed vessel equipped with a filter screen—a mesh screen or perforated screen that catches any debris. The size of particles filtered from the fluid will depend on the dimensions of the screen.
A basket piping filter has the benefit of high capacity, which makes them a popular choice for industrial applications. They are installed in horizontal lines, generally in applications with high flow capacity liquids.
Olds Filtration offers the following types of basket strainers:
- Simplex
- Duplex
- Automatic Self Cleaning Models
It's easy to clean simplex basket filters: Just open the top cover for access during maintenance. Duplex basket strainers, which consist of two filters connected with by-pass valves, can be cleaned during operation by diverting flow between the two parallel filters, cleaning one at a time. An automatic strainer offers the advantage of self-cleaning. These basket filters clean themselves, based on pressure drop settings or times, with no interruption in operation.
