Working Principle
The tee-type strainer operates through a simple filtration mechanism:
Filtration Process
- Fluid enters the inlet chamber.
- Flow passes through a stainless steel basket screen.
- Solid particles are trapped inside the basket.
- Clean fluid exits through the outlet.
- Basket is removed and cleaned during maintenance.
The large screen area ensures low velocity and high efficiency filtration.
