METAL STRAINER VALVE

A metal strainer valve, also known as a Y-strainer or basket strainer valve, is a type of valve used to remove solid particles from flowing fluids. It features a perforated or mesh-lined basket inside the valve body, where the fluid flows through. The strainer’s purpose is to trap debris such as dirt, scale, or other contaminants that could potentially damage downstream equipment or affect the fluid’s quality. Periodically, the basket can be removed and cleaned to maintain optimal flow and prevent clogging. Metal strainer valves are commonly used in pipelines carrying water, oil, gas, and other fluids in industries such as petrochemicals, refining, power generation, and manufacturing where maintaining fluid cleanliness and protecting downstream equipment is crucial. They are valued for their reliability, durability, and effectiveness in maintaining system efficiency
