FAQs for Strainers
Strainers are crucial for protecting valves from damage caused by:
Debris: Pipes can contain dirt, rust, scale, welding slag, or other foreign matter that can clog or damage valve components.
Wear and tear: Particles in the flow can accelerate wear on valve seats, seals, and other internal parts.
Malfunction: Debris can interfere with the proper operation of valves, leading to leaks, reduced efficiency, or even failure.
Regular cleaning: Clean the strainer basket or screen regularly to prevent clogging and maintain flow.
Inspection: Inspect the strainer for damage or wear, and replace components as needed.
Pressure drop monitoring: Monitor the pressure drop across the strainer to identify when cleaning is required.
Protecting control valves: Ensuring smooth operation and preventing damage to sensitive components.
Safeguarding pumps: Preventing impeller damage and ensuring efficient pump operation.
Protecting steam traps: Preventing clogging and maintaining proper condensate drainage.
Maintaining flow meter accuracy: Preventing debris from interfering with flow measurement.
