Dear all,

 

I have qualitative idea of strainer selection as,

1. Process fluid cleanliness. 

2. Ease / frequency of strainer cleaning.

3. Pressure drop across strainer.

4. Fluid flow.

5. Line size.

 

What is the guideline (quantitative) to select between "Wye" or "Tee" type strainer? Any standards i can look into for?

 

Thanks,

Subodh.

Subodh,

 

In brief:

 

Y type:

 

Less capacity to store dirt

Higher pressure drop

Requires frequent cleaning

 

T type:

 

High capacity to store dirt

Lower pressure drop

Can handle higher flow rate

nice information, Fallah! I am looking for numbers, as an exemplary say "above 20" NPS line size we should go for T-type, etc". 

Thanks.

My plant practise, t type strainer only for horizontal piping. Y type may use for horizontal n vertical
