What is the function of Y strainer? : A Y strainer is a type of mechanical filter used in pipelines to remove unwanted debris or particles from the fluid flowing through them. It gets its name from its shape, which resembles the letter “Y”. The Y strainer works by trapping solid particles and debris that could otherwise damage or clog downstream equipment such as valves, pumps, and meters.

 

The Y strainer typically consists of a housing, a removable screen or filter element, and a drain valve. The fluid enters the strainer housing through the inlet and flows through the screen or filter element, which catches and holds the debris. The clean fluid then passes through the outlet and continues downstream. The drain valve is used to remove the collected debris from the strainer periodically.

 

Y strainers are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications, such as in water treatment plants, oil refineries, chemical plants, and HVAC systems. They are available in various sizes and materials to accommodate different fluid flow rates and types.
