Temporary Strainer Removes Solid Particles in Pipeline Start-Up Applications

Temporary strainer is a filter element constructed of perforated metal or woven mesh and installed in pipes or pipeline systems. It is specially designed for initial start-up applications, aiming to catch debris in pipelines during start-u and protect pumps, instruments, control valves and other downstream equipment. As a result, it plays an role of stabilizing the filtration process and safeguarding the safe production. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, etc.

Temporary strainers are divided into temporary cone strainers, temporary basket strainers and temporary plate strainers. We can the right temporary strainer for you according to your pipeline system and filtration requirements.

Temporary Cone Strainer

It is the most common type temporary strainer. It is typically installed with the cone pointing upstream, and debris will tend to be collected at the strainer's paddle ring. This flow direction is more suitable for higher flow rates. If the cone points downstream, the debris will start to be collected in the center. Temporary cone strainer with a wire mesh liner can catch fine particles and the wire mesh is always placed towards the upstream, therefore, when ordering cone strainers, the expected flow direction must be told.

Temporary Basket Strainer

It is generally installed towards the down stream and debris will be collected at the flat part. Temporary basket strainer has a large volume and a large surface area than temporary cone strainer, so it has a slight higher pressure drop. If the wire mesh liner is placed outside the strainer, the strainer shall be installed towards the upstream.

Temporary Plate Strainer

Compared with temporary cone & basket strainers, temporary plate strainer has a small surface area and produces a higher pressure drop. The temporary plate strainer installation shall follow the principle of placing the wire mesh liner towards the upstream to facilitate catching finer particles.
