Its molybdenum content provides improved resistance to pitting and chloride-related corrosion compared with CF8\/304.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the size of this basket strainer?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This model is <strong>6 Inch<\/strong>, corresponding to a nominal pipe size of approximately <strong>DN150<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the pressure rating?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The valve is designed for <strong>ASME Class 150 \/ 150LB<\/strong> service. The actual allowable pressure depends on material, temperature, design, gasket, and applicable pressure-temperature ratings.<\/p>\n<h3>What type of flange connection is used?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The standard configuration is <strong>Class 150 RF flanged end<\/strong>, suitable for compatible ASME B16.5 piping systems.<\/p>\n<h3>What material is the filter basket?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A common configuration is an <strong>SS304 perforated basket<\/strong>. SS316 or SS316L baskets can be supplied when higher corrosion resistance is required. Industry Class 150 CF8M basket strainer specifications commonly pair CF8M bodies with SS304 screens.<\/p>\n<h3>Can the basket be replaced?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Yes. The removable basket can be cleaned, inspected, or replaced without replacing the complete strainer.<\/p>\n<h3>Where should a basket strainer be installed?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It is commonly installed upstream of pumps, control valves, flow meters, heat exchangers, compressors, and other equipment requiring protection from solid contaminants.<\/p>\n<h3>Is CF8M suitable for seawater?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">CF8M has good general corrosion resistance, but continuous seawater exposure can be more aggressive than many general industrial services.
