Our Team

Temporary Line Strainers

A temporary line strainer is a device that is installed in a pipeline to filter out any debris or foreign materials that may have entered the system during construction or maintenance . It is usually made of perforated metal or wire mesh, and can have different shapes such as cone, basket, or plate . A temporary line strainer is only used for a short period of time, until the pipeline is clean and free of contaminants. It can protect downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, meters, or instruments from damage or clogging . A temporary line strainer is typically removed after the startup phase and replaced by a permanent strainer or a blind flange. Temporary Line Strainers cann be either conical (witch’s hat) or flat.
