Stainless Steel Y-Strainer (Our Advanced) | Industrial chemical processing, high-pressure systems | 316L stainless steel (ASTM A240), 100 mesh basket (ASTM E11), 600 PSI rating (ASME B16.34) | ▲ Corrosion resistance (ASTM A240), ▲ Pressure tolerance (600 PSI vs Base 400 PSI), ▲ Fine filtration (100 mesh ▲ from Base 40 mesh) | Higher cost, bulkier design compared to plastic alternatives |
Carbon Steel Y-Strainer (Industry Standard) | General industrial plumbing, low-corrosion environments | ASTM A105 carbon steel, 20 mesh basket, 300 PSI rating (ASME B16.34) | Cost-effective, durable for non-corrosive fluids | Prone to rust without coating, limited chemical resistance |
Plastic Y-Strainer (Industry Standard) | Low-pressure water systems, food-grade applications | PVC (ASTM D1784), 30 mesh basket, 150 PSI rating (ASME B16.34) | Lightweight, chemical-resistant for non-aggressive fluids (e.g., water) | Lower pressure/temperature limits (max 122°F), less durable under stress |
Basket Strainer (Industry Standard) | High-flow industrial processes, oil filtration | 304 stainless steel (ASTM A240), 150 mesh basket (ASTM E11), 500 PSI rating | ▲ Flow capacity (larger basket), ▲ Fine filtration (150 mesh) | Bulky design, complex installation, requires frequent cleaning |
In-Line Strainer (Our Base) | Compact spaces, HVAC systems | 304 stainless steel (ASTM A240), 40 mesh basket (ASTM E11), 400 PSI rating | Space-saving design, easy integration into existing pipelines | Limited filtration capability (40 mesh), lower pressure tolerance vs Advanced |
Threaded Ball Valve (Industry Standard) | On/off control in pipelines | Brass body (ASTM B124), 25 mesh strainer insert, 300 PSI rating | Combines shut-off and basic filtration | Strainer requires disassembly for cleaning, lower mesh count (25) |
