According to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the United States Department of Transportation, corrosion was found to cause 18% of important pipeline safety events between 1988 and 2008. If you're interested in getting a fabricated strainer and want a little extra info beforehand, this article will give you the low-down so you know exactly what your choices are now or in the future!

What Are Fabricated Strainers?

A fabricated strainer is a device that filters or sifts out solid impurities from liquids. The most common fabricated strainers are simplex, duplex, and y-type strainers. These strainers are used to improve liquid quality and protect pipelines from particles that may cause damage. 

Fabricated Filters

Fabricated filters are generally used in piping systems that carry media such as water, oil, or other liquid materials. They can also be used at remote locations where running pipes and fittings would be too expensive. A fabricated strainer is usually installed between the pump and outlet, where it is subjected to high-pressure forces. These filters remove solids from liquids, gases, or vapors that can cause damage to pumps and valves downstream if left unchecked.

The fabricated strainer is generally used in piping systems that carry media such as water, oil, or other liquid materials. Generally speaking, they protect the piping system from damaging debris present in the media being transported through the pipe. These devices can keep components of the piping system safe and ensure proper operation by preventing damage to pumps and valves within a water treatment plant or another facility.

These devices may also be used at remote locations where running pipes and fittings are too expensive. Fabricated strainers are used in many different ways, but the most common uses are when:

• The filter will be installed remotely where running pipes and fittings to install cast-in-place strainers is cost-prohibitive.
• The required flow rate has exceeded the limits of cast-in-place strainers.

If you need a filter that does the job well and cost-efficiently, fabricated filters are the way to go. They are made for your desired usage, plus, they use less raw material than other filters. Contact us for more details if you know what kind of filter you want or need.
