When Repiping Isn’t an Option
Fitting a pipeline strainer into existing piping can be difficult especially when repiping is not feasible. Fluid Engineering developed the 545 and 548 model custom inline strainers to help in these instances. These duplex basket strainers use a manifold design to fit in existing face to face and floor to centerline areas.
The Series 545/548 Duplex Strainer provides continued and dependable removal of unwanted solids from fluids. This strainer serves to protect valves, pumps, meters, spray nozzles, and various other equipment. It is often used to ensure product purity in such industries as gas, petroleum, biofuels, and power plants. A duplex strainer is used in applications where fluid flow cannot be interrupted when the basket is removed for cleaning. It maintains a continuous flow by utilizing two separate basket chambers with integral valves
to direct flow into one of the basket chambers.
The Series 545/548 is a compact unit, with inline inlet/outlet connections, which enables easy piping and variable strainer placement. Chamber change over is accomplished quickly and easily. Levers control the positive sealing butterfly valves, changing the fluid flow.
Built as a standard model unit, the Series 545/548 is also flexible to meet the individual needs of the customer, and varying application requirements. It is available in a variety of materials, and its fabricated design is superior for corrosive, hazardous, or low specific gravity fluid applications.
