FACTORS
TO CONSIDER
1 Purpose
If the strainer is being used for protection rather
than direct filtration, standard screens will suffice
in most applications.
2 Service
With services that require extremely sturdy
screens, such as high pressure/temperature
applications or services with high viscosities,
perforated screens without mesh liners are
recommended. If a mesh liner is required to
obtain a certain level of filtration, then a trapped
perf/mesh/perf combination is recommended.
3 Filtration Level
When choosing a perf. or a mesh/perf.
combination, attention should be given to ensure
overstraining does not occur. As a general rule,
the specified level of filtration should be no
smaller than half the size of the particle to be
removed. If too fine a filtration is specified, the
pressure drop through the strainer will increase
very rapidly, possibly causing damage to the
screen.
1/16 Dia.- 37% O.A.
3/32 Dia.- 39% O.A.
1/8 Dia.- 40% O.A.
5/32 Dia.- 58% O.A.
Screen openings other than those shown above

are readily available. Various mesh sizes as fine as
5 micron and perforated plate as coarse as 1/2
Dia. are in inventory.
Screens are available in a wide range of materials.
Screens of carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316),
alloy 20, monel 400, hastelloy C and titanium
grade 2 are in inventory.
Custom manufactured screens are available upon
request. Please consult factory.
3/16 Dia.- 50% O.A.
1/4 Dia.- 40% O.A.
FB SERIES
FABRICATED STRAINERS
QUICK OPENING COVERS AND COVER REMOVAL AIDS
The quick release covers and cover removal aids, available on fabricated
strainers, are distinguished by their compact size and functional design.
Materials of construction are in accordance with ASME specifications
and manufacturing complies with the applicable rules of the ASME Code
for Pressure Piping and with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
COVER REMOVAL AID

COVER TYPE D BOLTED WITH DAVIT ASSEMBLY
The Davit Assembly permits the user to swing
the cover away to facilitate basket or screen
removal for cleaning. It is used primarily for
larger strainers where cover removal is difficult.
The Davit Assembly is an inexpensive alternative
to quick release covers, especially when
operating conditions require a bolted cover.
QUICK OPENING COVERS

COVER TYPE H T-BOLT HINGED COVER
The T-bolt Hinged Cover is the most economical
quick opening closure we offer on fabricated
strainers for nominal pressure applications. The
T-bolt Hinged Cover utilizes an O-ring seal. It
opens quickly and easily by loosening the T-bolts
until they clear the holding lugs and swinging the
head open on its hinge. Camlock and Break-over
Wrench Assemblies that eliminate the need for a
wrench are also available.
FB SERIES
FABRICATED STRAINERS
QUICK OPENING COVERS AND COVER REMOVAL AIDS
COVER TYPE Y YOKE HINGED COVER
The Yoke Hinged Cover is a true ANSI rated closure
that utilizes an O-ring seal. The Yoke Hinged Cover is
used primarily on high pressure applications and is
available with 150#, 300#, 600#, 900#, and 1500# ANSI
ratings with a wide range of operating aids, ranging
from a single lever chain and sprocket drive to
completely automated.
COVER TYPE T THREADED HINGED COVER

The Quick Opening Threaded Cover consists of
a cap fastened to a hub welded to the strainer
body. The female cap is threaded onto the male
hub with an O-ring seal. This O-ring prevents
corrosion of the closure threads, providing long,
trouble free service. The Threaded Cover is for
both nominal and high pressure applications.

1) Obtain water pressure drop from graphs on appropiate product page.

2) Multiply the pressure drop obtained from (1) by the specific gravity of the liquid.

Answer
A) The Pressure Drop Chart indicates a drop of 1.50 psid
with standard screen.
B) The Effective Area Chart indicates a ratio of 2.5:1 free
area to pipe area.
C) Using Chart above we read the correction factor of 2.5:1
(2:1 approx.) to be 3.7 at 60% clogged.
D) Total pressure drop equals 1.50 x 3.7 = 5.55 psid.

BURST PRESSURE (PSID)
Baskets with perforated bottoms are standard.

Chart is based on standard dimensions. Higher burst pressure ratings are available. Please consult factory.
Chart is based on stainless steel screen material. No safety factor is incorporated. It is the responsibility of the user
to determine an acceptable safety factor.
Example
Strainer Size: 10"
Basket Type: Perforated screen with 11
gauge solid flat bottom
Screen Material Open Area: 20% - 60%
Source: ASME Section VIII, Div. 1, UG-34
Answer
A) Locate Strainer size.
B) Follow vertical line to solid thickness.
C) Follow horizontal line to solid bottom
curve.
D) Follow vertical line downward to read burst
pressure.
E) Burst pressure equals 15 psid.
