FAQ
What is a basket strainer used for?
A basket strainer removes solids and debris from liquid flow in pipelines, protecting pumps, valves, and downstream equipment from damage while maintaining consistent flow and preventing costly operational interruptions.
How do inline basket strainers differ from regular strainers?
Inline basket strainers are installed directly into the pipeline, offering easy maintenance and high-efficiency filtration, while traditional strainers may require more complex setups or separate housings.
What materials are basket strainers made of?
Basket strainers are commonly made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, ensuring corrosion resistance, durability, and long-lasting performance under high pressure and varying industrial conditions.
How often should a basket strainer be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on the water quality and debris load; high solids environments may require daily inspection, whereas cleaner water systems might only need weekly or monthly maintenance.
Can basket strainers handle high-pressure pipelines?
Yes, industrial basket strainers are engineered to withstand high pressures and temperatures, protecting critical components in oil & gas, chemical, and water treatment pipelines without compromising flow.
Are basket strainers suitable for corrosive liquids?
Stainless steel or alloy steel basket strainers are ideal for corrosive fluids, preventing chemical damage while ensuring consistent filtration in chemical processing, wastewater treatment, or aggressive industrial applications.
Can basket strainers be customized?
Yes, Dutco Tennant offers custom basket strainers to match specific pipeline sizes, end connections, filtration requirements, and operating conditions, ensuring efficient performance in unique industrial setups.
What industries commonly use basket strainers?
Basket strainers are widely used in oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, water treatment, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, HVAC, marine, and mining industries for reliable filtration and equipment protection.
