The Best Simplex Strainer
for High Flow Applications
in Large Pipelines
The Eaton Model 73 simplex
basket strainer with its straight
flow design greatly reduces
pressure loss and results in a
compact strainer that can fit in
tight spaces.
Unique Basket Strainer
Large size pipelines with high
flow rates require a unique
type of basket strainer. The
convoluted (pleated) perforated
or mesh screens in the basket
increases the amount of
straining area available while
reducing the basket size and
weight. This makes it easy to
remove the basket from the
strainer housing. No lifting
tackle required. The quick
opening cover provides fast
and easy access to the basket
for quick service. Over time,
this can save considerable
time and money in labor.
When selecting a pipeline
strainer for a large size piping
system with high flow rates,
be sure to consider all the
factors, not just initial pressure
loss. The amount of straining
area in the basket is critical to
reducing the amount of time
between cleanings or
changeouts.
