y type strainer

Y Type Strainer Stainless Steel

  • Double-layer stainless steel filter structure
  • With an interception rate of >95%
  • 316L suitable for corrosive media such as acid, alkali, and salt solutions
  • Y-shaped flow channel optimization reduces pressure drop to 0.05–0.2 m
  • Stainless steel housing + perforated filter cartridge with a pressure rating of 10 MPa

Structural Advantages Of  Y Type Strainer

  • Y-shaped streamlined design: Fluid resistance reduced by 30% compared to T-shaped filters, with 15% energy savings (resistance coefficient curve diagram included)
  • Filter mesh features:
    • Stainless steel woven mesh (reusable, with a service life of ≥3 years)
    • Perforated mesh (suitable for large particles, with higher strength)
    • Wedge wire mesh (high-precision filtration, customizable for particles smaller than 5μm)
  • Sealing Structure: Utilizes a mortise-and-tenon seal combined with an O-ring for dual sealing, ensuring no leakage (Attached pressure test video screenshot)

Installation and Maintenance Advantages

  • Multi-Directional Installation: Supports horizontal/vertical/inclined installation (attached diagrams of different installation methods)
  • Quick-Release Design: Filter cover uses a quick-release/clip-on connection, disassembly time ≤ 2 minutes (saves 80% time compared to traditional flange-type)

How is Working Principle Y Type Strainer?

  1. Principle Diagram:
    • Left side: Water flow direction diagram (red arrows indicate raw water, blue arrows indicate filtered water)
    • Right side: Close-up of filter mesh intercepting impurities (marked with filter mesh aperture and impurity retention area)
  2. Text Description:
    When the medium enters the Y-shaped valve body from the inlet end, the sudden change in flow direction (90° or 120°) reduces the flow velocity, generating centrifugal force that flings larger particles toward the outer side of the filter mesh;
    As the medium passes through the filter mesh, remaining microscopic impurities are trapped, and clean medium flows out from the outlet end;
    Once impurities accumulate to a certain extent, they can be directly discharged through the bottom drain port (with a ball valve) or the filter screen can be disassembled for thorough cleaning.
  3. Dynamic Elements:
    • Embed a 15-second short video: Simulate the filtration process of different impurities (silt/rust/fibers)
    • Interactive button: Click “View Drainage Process” to display an animation of the filter screen removal, cleaning, and installation steps.

Installation and Maintenance (Step-by-Step Guide)

Installation Steps (with Tool List)

  1. Prepare tools: Wrench (select size based on connection type), PTFE tape (for threaded connections), spirit level
  2. Confirm flow direction: The “IN/OUT” markings on the valve body indicate the correct installation direction; do not install backwards (attached: example of damage caused by incorrect installation)
  3. Reserve space: Leave ≥1.5 times the pipe diameter on both sides of the valve body to facilitate future disassembly and cleaning (attached: installation spacing diagram)
  4. Seal inspection: For flange connections, tighten the bolts evenly (in a diagonal sequence). The valve may only be put into use after a pressure test confirms no leaks.

Maintenance guidelines

  • Cleaning cycle:
  • Clean media (e.g., clean water): Every 6 months
  • Media with high impurity content (e.g., wastewater): Every 15 days
  • Cleaning Steps:
    1. Close the shut-off valves before and after the filter, open the drain valve to relieve pressure (pressure drops to 0 MPa)
    2. Remove the filter cover (screw off directly for quick-connect type, remove bolts for flange type)
    3. Remove the filter screen and rinse with a high-pressure water gun or ultrasonic cleaner (cleaning tool recommendations provided)
    4. Inspect the filter screen for damage (use a flashlight to check), and replace immediately if damaged.
    5. Reassemble in the original order, first manually pre-tighten, then use a wrench to tighten (note: do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the threads).
