Strainers are mechanical devices to retain (and remove) foreign particles from flowing liquids and protect equipment such as pumps and compressors. There are several types of strainers, including the Y, basket, and duplex types. A critical element is the strainer’s screen, specifically its mesh size (perforation density).
