Products Description
Specifications
Y strainer (ductile iron) is an industrial pipeline component designed to mechanically remove solid debris such as rust, scale, weld metal, or other foreign particles from the flow of liquids or gases. It is shaped like the letter "Y", where one branch contains a mesh straining screen and the other continues the main flow.
Fluid enters the strainer body.
The mesh or perforated screen captures suspended solids.
The cleaned fluid exits through the pipeline.
The debris collected in the screen chamber can be removed by opening the drain plug or cover.

FAQ
Q: What is a Y-strainer?
A Y-strainer is a mechanical filter device used in pipelines to remove unwanted solids and debris from liquids, gases, or steam. It has a Y-shaped body with a mesh filter inside.
Q: Why use ductile iron for Y-strainers?
Ductile iron provides excellent strength, durability, and resistance to pressure, making it suitable for water, oil, gas, and general industrial applications. It also offers better impact and corrosion resistance compared to cast iron.
Q: What applications are ductile iron Y-strainers used in?
Water supply pipelines
HVAC systems
Oil and gas pipelines
Chemical and petrochemical industries
Fire protection systems
Irrigation and wastewater treatment
Q: What are the pressure ratings for ductile iron Y-strainers?
Typically PN16 / PN25 or Class 125 / 150 depending on design and standards (e.g., EN, ASME, or DIN).
Q: What screen mesh sizes are available?
Screens are available in different mesh sizes (usually 20–200 mesh) depending on the filtration requirement. Coarser mesh is used for larger debris, finer mesh for smaller particles.
