A fluorine-lined T strainer works by filtering out debris from the fluid as it flows through the T-shaped body. The incoming fluid passes through the fluorine-coated mesh, trapping particles and protecting downstream equipment. The fluorine lining shields the metal body from corrosive fluids, ensuring longevity and effective filtration.
How often should a fluorine-lined T strainer be cleaned?
+
Cleaning frequency depends on the specific application and the amount of debris in the fluid. In highly contaminated systems, regular inspections and cleanings, perhaps weekly or monthly, are necessary. In less demanding environments, cleaning may only be needed a few times a year. Always monitor pressure drops to know when cleaning is required.
What applications are fluorine-lined T strainers suitable for?
+
Fluorine-lined T strainers are ideal for chemical processing, petrochemicals, and water treatment systems where corrosive or abrasive fluids are present. They’re particularly useful for filtering acids, alkalis, and aggressive chemicals to protect sensitive components downstream and ensure smooth operation in harsh environments.
