Flat Plate Strainers
What are flat plate strainers?
Flat plate strainers, also known as flat screen strainers or flat mesh strainers, are filtration devices used to remove solid particles from liquids flowing through pipelines. Unlike conical line strainers, which have a conical shape, flat plate strainers have a flat, rectangular or circular straining element. These strainers are often used in pipelines or process systems to protect pumps, valves, and other equipment from damage caused by contaminants.
Flat plate strainers are available in Perforated, Mesh or Wedge Wire or in combination as process dictates. Units designed to fit 150 and 300 lb. flanges and are available with or without bolt holes to suit customer configuration. Flat plate strainers provide an ideal quick and easy start-up of new piping systems and are cost effective!
*Perforated standard is 1/8” on 3/16” staggered centers
Other patterns also available.
