PRESSURE DROP CHART
Flanged Y Pattern Strainers (Styles A, BA, BA-7, SA, SA-7, SSA and SSA-7)





KECKLEY
This pressure drop chart
is based on the flow of
clean water through the
Keckley Y strainers
listed above with screen
perforations ranging from
3/64 through 1/8.

TO USE CHARTS:
Find your desired rate of
flow (GPM) on the left
hand side of the chart.
Follow its corresponding
horizontal line to the point
where it intersects the
diagonal line indicating
the strainer pipe size.
From this point of
intersection, follow the
vertical line down to the
bottom of the chart to
determine the
approximate pressure
drop.

CORRECTION
FACTORS:
For finer mesh screens
that are backed with a
perforated sheet, multiply
the pressure drops shown
at right by the following:
40 mesh x 1.2
60 mesh x 1.4
80 mesh x 1.6
100 mesh x 1.7
