Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Y-strainers and basket strainers?
Y-strainers use a compact angled design suited for general-purpose protection. Basket strainers offer larger debris capacity and are ideal for applications requiring frequent cleaning or higher flow volumes.
What material should I choose for my strainer?
Material selection depends on your media, pressure, temperature, and corrosion requirements. Common options include carbon steel, stainless steel, and specialty alloys for demanding applications.
How often should strainers be cleaned or maintained?
Maintenance frequency varies by application and debris load. Monitor pressure drop across the strainer and inspect baskets regularly to prevent flow restriction and protect downstream equipment.
Can strainers handle high-pressure applications?
Yes. Many industrial strainers are rated for high-pressure service. Share your pressure class, temperature, and media details so we can recommend a suitable model.
Do you offer custom fabricated strainers?
Yes. Cascade can source fabricated strainers built to your flow, connection, and material specifications for large or specialized installations.
