Titan Flow Control BS 25-CI Threaded Cast Iron Simplex Basket Strainer - ASME Class 125

Simplex basket strainers are installed into a pipeline system to remove unwanted debris from the pipeline flow. Basket strainers are commonly used in horizontal pipelines where debris loading is high and the collection of solids is required. Straining is accomplished via a perforated or mesh lined straining element, internal to the basket strainer. In general, the size of the perforation or mesh should be slightly smaller than the smallest debris particle to be removed.

Note: The correct size of a basket strainer is determined by its job function, not by the size of the pipeline.

Features

• Versatile - High Quality Construction: Epoxy-painted cast iron body with plugged drain connections and safety vents - quick open cover comes standard, but a full ANSI rated bolted cover is also available - please call for more information
• Minimal Pressure Loss: Pressure loss is minimized by providing an over-the-top flow path and large open area ratio - the straining capacity is a minimum of six times that of the connecting pipe
• Large Straining Capacity: The large body and size-able straining element allows this basket strainer to store large quantities of debris - thus maximizing time between servicing; Also features a machined seat with o-ring that enables fine filtration down to 40 microns
• Numerous Straining Element Options: Straining elements are available in a variety of perforations, meshes, and materials - special designs are also available including magnetic, wedge wire, drilled perforations, and pleated straining elements - the standard material for straining elements is 304 stainless steel
• Self-Cleaning Option: Utilizing a modified straining element, drains can be fitted with a Titan FCI ball valve to allow for the automatic cleaning or flushing of the straining element While keeping the pipeline in service - please call for more information
• Potable Water/FDA Approved Coatings Available: In addition to the lead free, cast iron body, this basket strainer can coated with NSF/ANSI and FDA epoxy paint - please call for more information
