T-Type strainers (also called bath tub strainer) in stainless steel can be used for aggressive media like deionized or demineralised wateralkaline, boiler feed water, acid or alcaline medium. The dimension reach from 2" (DN50) to 12" (DN300) as standard. For special requirements the T-Type Strainer can be produced up to 48" (DN1200), with a pressure rate up to 2500 LB according to ASME B16.5.
Bath tub strainers can be delivered with butt welds and flanges. The screen in W-design has a large filter area with low pressure drop. The T-Type strainer is available with a screen in V-design as well.
Thsi strainer type is often used during start up and after revision. After the cleaning process the sieve will be taken off and the strainer body will remain in the pipe. The bath tub strainer has a big advantage in comperison to temporary strainers since the pipe must not be opend when the screen has been retrieved from the pipe.
