ECONOSTO - STRAINERS

General Design & Application:

Solid contamination is detrimental to the performance and life of fluid transfer systems. It is therefore extremely important to remove solid contamination from fluid transfer systems. This will protect the pipeline and all the associated equipment / instruments on the line which are many a times sensitive to dirt. Corrosion deposits, scaling, welding slag, sealing compounds as well as several other materials are trapped and prevented from causing system contamination and subsequent problems and failures. The ECON Y type strainer design offers a reliable and cost effective means of equipment protection, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. The design of ECON strainers is supported by the decades of experience in the field of fluid handling. Straining is a process of directly intercepting solid particles when the fluid passes through the strainer element / perforated screen. The strainer screen perforations / mesh size are small enough to prevent passage of solid contamination / dirt to the downstream. The ECON bronze strainers have a strong stainless steel wire mesh screen / element insert. The holes on the wire mesh are of size 0.8 mm. The larger size ECON Cast Iron strainers have a solid stainless steel perforated screen / element with a hole size of 1.5 mm. The pressure drop through the ECON strainers is minimized due to its streamlined flow design. The strainers have a compact design. Also suitable for saturated steam service. ECON strainers can be supplied with a drain plug fixed on the strainer bottom cover as an additional / optional feature where requested. Note: It is extremely important that the Strainer screen is cleaned at frequent intervals in order to avoid damage to screens / elements due to choking (dirt build-up). This will also help to get a better life from the Strainer screen / element. We strongly advice that the Strainer screen are cleaned at regular intervals especially during initial flushing and start up.
