I-FLOW ANSI 150 Cast Steel Basket Strainer

The ANSI 150 Cast Steel Basket Strainer (Flange End) from IFLOW is an essential solution for industrial operations where efficient filtration is critical. Designed to capture debris and prevent it from damaging vital equipment, this strainer ensures smooth flow in your pipeline systems while providing robust, corrosion-resistant performance. Made to meet the rigorous demands of modern industry, it offers high-efficiency filtration, durability, and easy maintenance, making it a valuable asset in maintaining system integrity.

What is a Basket Strainer?

The Basket Strainer is a filtration device used in piping systems to remove solid impurities from liquids or gases. It employs a basket-shaped filter screen that captures debris while allowing the filtered medium to pass through. This design is ideal for applications where contaminants are common, and regular cleaning of the filter is required to maintain optimal system performance. Basket strainers are critical in protecting downstream equipment, such as pumps, valves, and heat exchangers, from potential damage due to debris.

How Does a Basket Strainer Work?

The working principle is straightforward. The fluid enters the strainer, where it flows through a perforated or mesh basket filter. The filter captures solid particles, ensuring that only clean, debris-free liquid or gas continues through the pipeline. Over time, the basket collects impurities, which can be easily removed for cleaning and reinstalled, ensuring continuous protection for the pipeline system. This feature minimizes downtime and simplifies maintenance, making the ANSI 150 Cast Steel Basket Strainer a convenient and efficient choice for industrial applications.

Key Advantages of the ANSI 150 Cast Steel Basket Strainer

High-Efficiency Filtration: The basket filter is specifically designed to capture solid impurities effectively, protecting key components like valves, pumps, and other downstream equipment from blockages or damage.

Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from cast steel or stainless steel, the strainer is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use with a wide range of media, including corrosive fluids and water. This durability ensures long-term reliability even in harsh operating environments.

Easy Installation and Maintenance: The strainer features flanged ends, allowing for quick and easy installation in piping systems. The removable basket simplifies maintenance, as it can be taken out, cleaned, and reinstalled with minimal effort. This reduces operational downtime and enhances productivity.
