Quality Temporary Pipeline Strainers

These low-cost strainers are temporarily installed in a startup pipeline to remove debris and sediment from fluid and protect downstream components.

They direct the fluid through different-sized holes and are removed for cleaning or replacement once they have collected the residue. They can be fabricated into various lengths, hole sizes, materials, styles and pressure ratings.

Fabricated temporary pipeline strainers are available in three configurations:

  • Temporary Cone Strainer
  • Temporary Basket Strainer
  • Temporary Flat Strainers

Overview and Core Features

  • ANSI Class 150, 300, 600, 900 and 1500
  • Perforations from 1/32” to ½” diameter
  • Mesh liners of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100
  • Stainless steel or carbon steel construction

Options and Applications

Depending on the use, options are available for:

Temporary pipeline strainers provide cost-effective protection for costly meters, pumps, valves and other mechanical equipment. They have applications in various industrial systems, including:

  • Automotive
  • Irrigation
  • Food and beverage
  • HVAC
  • Marine
  • Manufacturing
  • Oil and gas
  • Petrochemical
  • Power generation
  • Wastewater
  • Water

Temporary Cone Strainer

Temporary conical strainers are usually supplied with 1/8″ holes on 3/16″ centers but can be customized to fit various applications. For heavy-load applications, reinforcing rings can be installed to maintain the integrity of the cone where the differential pressure exceeds 20 to 30 psi.

Temporary Basket Strainer

These strainers are shorter and have slightly higher pressure loss across them than cone strainers. They can have a mesh lining on the inside or outside of the basket, depending on the flow of the media.
