Typically used in applications where the amount of solids to be removed is small, and where frequent clean-out is not required. They can provide a means of removing solids from a flowing fluid mechanically by filtration screen. They are most often installed in gaseous services such as steam, air, nitrogen, natural gas, etc. The compact, cylindrical shape of the Y-strainer is very strong and can readily accommodate the high pressures that are common in this type of service.
A Y-strainer has the advantage of being able to be installed in either a horizontal or vertical position.
DIN Y-strainers/filter are available in Cast Iron, Ductile Iron, Bronze, Nickel Aluminum Bronze, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, and a variety of specialty metals including Alloy 20, Hastelloy C276, Monel, Chrome-Moly, and Titanium to withstand thermal or mechanical shock and corrosion.
