Temporary Strainers are fabricated in stainless steel and designed for temporary or short periods of operation, for example during commissioning and initial start up periods of new or reconditioned process lines to remove any coarse debris such as rags, welding rods, pipe scale, rust etc., accidentally or unavoidably pre-sent within a system. Temporary Strainers are very easy to install and just as easy to remove between two flanges in a pipeline system.
Temporary Strainers are manufactured of a perforated plate with a welded collar. The collar is used for the fixation of the strainer between two flanges in a pipeline. The medium should flow from the outside to the inside. After a nominal period of operation they are usually replaced with a permanent strainer of a finer retention.
