ST34 Flange Connection Right Angle T-type Strainer

Key Features:
1. Right-Angle (90°) Design  
   - Redirects flow by 90°, making it ideal for tight spaces or vertical/horizontal transitions.  
   - Lower pressure drop compared to conventional basket strainers.  

2. Flange Connection  
   - Standard flange options: ANSI B16.5, DIN, GB/T, JIS, etc.  
   - Common pressure ratings: PN10/16/25 (Class 150/300).  

3. T-Type Configuration  
   - The "T" shape houses the filter screen, allowing easy access for cleaning/replacement without full pipeline disassembly.  

4. Filter Screen Material  
   - Stainless steel (304/316) mesh or perforated plate (common mesh: 20–100).  
   - Removable for maintenance.  

5. Blowdown Valve (Optional)  
   - Some models include a drain valve for debris removal without opening the strainer.  

Typical Applications:
- Steam systems (high-temperature resistance)  
- Oil & gas pipelines  
- Chemical processing (corrosion-resistant materials available)  
- Water treatment & HVAC  

Materials & Standards:
- Body Material:  
  - Cast iron (WCB) – General use  
  - Carbon steel (A105) – High-pressure applications  
  - Stainless steel (CF8/CF8M) – Corrosive environments  
- Seals: NBR, EPDM, PTFE (for chemical/thermal resistance).  
- Standards: ANSI, DIN, GOST, JIS, GB (specify required standard when ordering).  

Advantages Over Straight-Through Strainers:
- Space-saving due to 90° design.  
- Easier maintenance in cramped installations.  
- Lower turbulence compared to basket strainers.  

Maintenance Tips:
1. Regularly inspect the screen for clogs (frequency depends on fluid cleanliness).  
2. Clean/replace the screen via the T-body cover (no pipe cutting needed).  
3. For models with a blowdown valve, purge debris periodically.
