S. S. Conical Filter
A conical filter device is used to filter steam, gases or liquid passing through a pipe line from upstream to downstream. The filter device includes a filter media which is generally a SS mesh filter in a conical housing.
The plate strainer filter forms a seal between the outer edge of the housing at the upstream & downstream side of the housing reducing the chances of by pass of the unfiltered material.
Strainers come in several different styles based on the needs.
A plate strainer is the simplest, in which water flows through a perforated plate. The plate is held between two conical parts of its housings with sealing gasket or 'O' ring. This type of strainer is called plate strainer.
A basket strainer is a design where the strainer is shaped like basket and usually installed in a vertical cylinder. The basket strainer is easier to clean because the debris is captured in the basket. The basket offers more straining surface area than a plate strainer, improving flow rates, or decreasing pressure across the strainer. Strainer elements are generally made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance
