WIRE MESH AND PERFORATED METALS
Strainer Screen-The heart of Y strainer
The screen, of course, is the heart of the Y Strainer and the point where the dirt or unwanted material is trapped.
In the case of small sizes (up to 2 inches), a cylindrical wire mesh screen is generally satisfactory if pressure is not too high.
For larger sizes, a simple wire mesh cylinder does not have enough mechanical strength and it should be backed up with a perforated metal cylinder.
Stainless steel is the preferred material for Y Strainer screen and is used with almost all Y Strainers regardless of material of construction.
