FAQ's of CI093 Cast Iron Y-Type Strainer PN-16 (Flanged):
Q: How is the CI093 Cast Iron Y-Type Strainer installed in pipelines?
A: The CI093 Y-Type Strainer can be installed in either horizontal or vertical positions, making it suitable for versatile pipeline arrangements. Flow direction is indicated by an arrow marked on the body, ensuring correct alignment during installation. The flanged ends, drilled as per IS 1538, BS 4504, or DIN 2533 standards, allow for easy connection to compatible piping systems.
Q: What types of fluids can the CI093 Y-Type Strainer filter?
A: This strainer is suitable for filtration of various industrial fluids including water, oil, gas, and steam. Its robust construction and gasketed flanged joint enable reliable operation in liquid and gas filtration processes within a pressure range up to 16 bar and temperatures up to 220C.
Q: When should the screen inside the strainer be cleaned?
A: The cleaning interval for the screen depends on the type and quantity of contaminants in the fluid being filtered. The CI093 is equipped with a drain plug, allowing for easy removal of accumulated debris and periodic maintenance. Regular inspection and cleaning help maintain optimal strainer performance and prevent pressure drop across the pipeline.
Q: Where does the CI093 Y-Type Strainer typically find application?
A: This strainer is widely used in industrial settings such as water treatment plants, oil and gas transmission, and steam lines. Its durable design and high-pressure rating make it suitable for process lines requiring reliable filtration and corrosion resistance, supporting safe and efficient operation in diverse industrial environments across India.
Q: What are the benefits of having high corrosion resistance in the CI093 Y-Type Strainer?
A: High corrosion resistance, achieved through fusion-bonded epoxy coating and stainless steel screens, ensures the strainer withstands harsh industrial conditions and extends service life. This minimizes maintenance frequency, prevents contamination, and enhances safety, making it a dependable option for long-term filtration requirements.
Q: How does the strainer's face-to-face length conform to international standards?
A: The face-to-face length of the CI093 Y-Type Strainer adheres to IS and BS standards, ensuring dimensional compatibility with standard pipeline infrastructure. This facilitates straightforward integration and replacement within existing systems, reducing installation complexity and downtime.
Q: What process is followed for hydrostatic testing of the CI093 strainer?
A: Each CI093 Y-Type Strainer undergoes stringent hydrostatic testing, with the body tested at 24 bar and the seat at 17.6 bar, verifying its ability to withstand operational pressure without leaks. This ensures reliability and safety before the strainer enters service in industrial filtration applications.
