The basket strainer is a pipeline filtration device designed to remove solid impurities and particles from fluids. It features an internal stainless steel basket element that traps contaminants, protecting downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and heat exchangers from clogging or damage. Compared to Y-strainers, basket strainers offer a larger filtration area and lower pressure drop, making them ideal for high-flow and viscous applications.
1️⃣Large basket capacity and filtration surface, ideal for high-flow applications
2️⃣Quick-open cover design for easy maintenance and cleaning
3️⃣Available in carbon steel, SS304, SS316L, duplex steel, and lined types
4️⃣Optional anti-corrosion coating and differential pressure ports
5️⃣Wide filtration range (20μm–1000μm), customizable to process needs
6️⃣Flanged, threaded, or clamp-type connections for installation flexibility

1. What’s the difference between a basket strainer and a Y-strainer?
🅰️Basket strainers offer a larger filtration area and are suitable for high flow rates and low-pressure drop applications, while Y-strainers are more compact and better for limited space.
2. Can the basket be cleaned or replaced? How often?
🅰️Yes. The basket is removable and can be cleaned or replaced. Cleaning frequency depends on the contamination level—typically weekly or monthly.
3. Is customization available?
🅰️Yes. We offer custom solutions in terms of material, interface type, coating, pressure rating, and internal structure.
4. What types of fluids can it handle?
🅰️It is suitable for water, oil, solvents, chemical fluids, and slurry with low to medium viscosity.
5. Does it support differential pressure monitoring?
🅰️Yes, differential pressure ports can be added for real-time monitoring and maintenance alerts.
