Basket Strainer

A strainer is used to “strain” or “filter” contaminates in a piping system that could flow down the pipeline and damage more expensive pieces of equipment, or spoil a manufacturing process. In effect, a strainer could be viewed as a very inexpensive “insurance policy” to help protect the overall piping systems. Strainers are available in many materials, types, and end connections. These various options are designed to help the end user obtain the best possible straining device for their specific applications.
