Temporary Cone Strainer

Temporary Cone Strainers: The Ideal Solution for System Startup and Commissioning

To ensure a debris-free process stream during system startup or commissioning, temporary strainers are the go-to solution. At YUBO, we offer a diverse range of temporary strainers, including cone, basket, and plate types, to meet the unique needs of various industries, including chemical, power plants, petrochemical, and machinery.

The Purpose of Temporary Strainers

Temporary strainers are specifically designed to filter out debris and protect equipment and instrumentation during commissioning and startup periods. These strainers are typically installed between a set of flanges without any modification to the surrounding pipeline for an initial period after a new plant has been installed. They can withstand high pressure differences, and the flow direction is from the inside out, allowing for easy removal of collected debris.

Types of Temporary Strainers

We provide the cone strainers,basket strainers and plate strainers to satisfy diverse applications:

1. Cone Strainers: Ideal for applications where pressure loss is a concern, cone strainers offer a lower pressure drop compared to basket and plate strainers.

2. Basket Strainers: With a slightly higher pressure loss than cone strainers, basket strainers are suitable for applications where a higher flow rate is required.

3. Plate Strainers: Featuring the highest pressure drop among the three, plate strainers are ideal for applications where a high level of filtration is necessary.

Specifications

Material: 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, carbon steel, and other materials available upon request.

Mesh Liners/Covers: 10 mesh, 20 mesh, 30 mesh, 40 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh, and 100 mesh options available. For mesh-lined strainers, flow direction must be specified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of a Temporary Strainer?

A: A Temporary Strainer is a type of filtration device used in pipelines and process systems to temporarily capture debris, particles, and contaminants, protecting sensitive equipment downstream during construction, commissioning, or maintenance.

Q: In which situations should I use a Temporary Strainer?

A: A Temporary Strainer is beneficial during construction, system startup, or maintenance activities where there is a likelihood of debris or contaminants entering the system, which could potentially damage downstream equipment or clog components.

Q: Can Temporary Strainers be used permanently?

A: No, Temporary Strainers are designed for initial system operation. For long-term fluid filtration, it is recommended to use permanent filters, such as Y-type strainers or basket strainers.

Q: Is it possible to reuse a temporary strainer after it has been used once?

A: Yes, a temporary strainer can be reused in some cases. After it has served its purpose, the strainer can be removed, cleaned thoroughly to remove captured debris, and then reinstalled in another part of the system where temporary filtration is needed. However, its reuse largely depends on the extent of contamination and the strainer's condition after removal.

By choosing YUBO's temporary strainers, you can ensure a smooth and efficient system startup or commissioning process, while also protecting your equipment and instrumentation from debris and contaminants.
