Strainer ( DN50 - DN3000 )

Body Material: The body of the ductile iron strainer is made from ductile iron, known for its high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion. This material ensures the strainer's durability and longevity in various operating conditions. 

Y-Shape Design: Ductile iron strainers typically have a Y-shaped design, featuring an inlet and outlet at the base of the Y, and a straining element (screen or perforated mesh) positioned within the Y section to trap solid particles. 

Bolted Cover: The strainer often includes a bolted cover, allowing for easy access to the straining element for cleaning or maintenance. 

Perforated Mesh or Screen: The straining element is usually a perforated mesh or screen made of materials like stainless steel. This element filters out particles such as debris, sediment, or larger contaminants from the fluid. 

Flanged or Threaded Ends: Ductile iron strainers are available with flanged or threaded ends for easy connection to the pipeline. Flanged ends are suitable for bolting to matching flanges, while threaded ends allow for direct connection to threaded pipes. 

Bolts and Nuts: The cover of the strainer is secured with bolts and nuts, providing a tight seal and allowing for easy removal for cleaning or replacement of the straining element. 

Water Systems: Ductile iron strainers are commonly used in water distribution systems, both in municipal and industrial settings, to protect pumps, valves, and other sensitive equipment from damage caused by solid particles. 

Process Industries: They find applications in various process industries, including chemical processing, oil and gas, and manufacturing, where the removal of solid contaminants is essential for equipment protection. 

Filtration: The primary function of the ductile iron strainer is to filter and trap solid particles from the fluid, preventing them from causing damage to downstream equipment. 

Easy Maintenance: The bolted cover design allows for easy access to the straining element, facilitating maintenance and cleaning without disconnecting the entire strainer from the pipeline. 

Varied Sizes: Ductile iron strainers come in a range of sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters and flow rates. 

ANSI, AWWA, or Other Standards: Ductile iron strainers are typically manufactured to comply with industry standards, such as those set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the American Water Works Association (AWWA).
