A T-strainer is a common filter in industrial and commercial applications to remove debris and contaminants from liquids and gasses. It consists of a T-shaped body connected to the pipeline. T-strainers are known for their simple design, ease of operation, and versatility in various settings. This article discusses the design, features, applications, and selection criteria of t-type strainers. Design and operation A T-strainer consists of a T-shaped body, a removable strainer basket placed inside the body, and a cover used to access the strainer basket for cleaning or replacement. The T-shape of the device allows it to be easily installed in pipelines and provides a simple and effective way to remove debris and other contaminants from liquids and gasses. Fluid flowing through the pipeline goes through the strainer. The basket in the strainer is made up of a mesh or other filter material that is designed to trap foreign particles present in the liquid or gas. Trapped in the basket, the particles cannot cause damage to downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and other components. Benefits T-strainers are widely used to protect equipment, improve system efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs. The list below highlights further benefits of using T-strainers in fluid systems. • Easy maintenance: T-type strainers have a quick-opening cover for convenient access. • Safety: They are safe in hazardous processes because the cover, when in a horizontal pipeline, can open safely without draining the fluid. • Low pressure drop: They have a large open area for media to flow through, so the flow is minimally restricted, and the pressure drop stays low.
