Y-Strainers are made for applications with little upkeep, cleaning requirements, and solid particle content. The main pipe and filter in a Y strainer are joined at an angle, giving the strainer its "y" shape. Although they can also be utilised in vacuum or suction situations, they are frequently used with steam, liquid, or gas. Typically, they are less capable of holding dirt than "T" style strainers. They need to be cleaned frequently. They can be set up either vertically or horizontally.


Applications of Y Strainer:
Y-Strainers are used in a variety of liquid straining applications in many industries, including chemical processing, petroleum, power generation, and maritime, to protect downstream process system components. In water handling applications, Y-Strainers are frequently employed to prevent equipment from being harmed or obstructed by unwelcome sand, gravel, or other material. They are primarily utilised in applications involving liquid and steam.
