Strainers
Removes solid particles and debris from pipelines to protect valves, pumps and downstream process equipment.
Industrial piping systems require reliable protection against rust, scale, welding debris and other solid contaminants that can damage pumps, valves, meters and downstream equipment. African Valve, a Strainers Supplier in Egypt, provides industrial strainers designed to remove unwanted particles from process fluids before they reach sensitive equipment. The strainer range includes Y Strainers, Simplex Basket Strainers and Duplex Basket Strainers for applications across water treatment, oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing and industrial pipeline systems.
Strainer Features
Equipment protection – Helps prevent solid contaminants from reaching pumps, valves and instruments.
Efficient filtration – Removes rust, scale, welding debris and other suspended particles.
Compact design – Y-type configurations require relatively limited installation space.
Multiple configurations – Available as Y, simplex basket and duplex basket strainers.
Easy maintenance – Removable screens or baskets allow inspection and cleaning.
Continuous operation – Duplex basket arrangements allow one chamber to remain in service while the other is cleaned.
Multiple screen options – Perforated and mesh screen configurations can be selected according to filtration requirements.
Industrial applications – Suitable for water, steam, gas, oil and other process services.

Testing & Standards
Strainers may undergo hydrostatic shell testing, dimensional inspection, screen-fit verification, cover sealing inspection and final quality checks according to the applicable product and project requirements. Relevant standards can include ASME B16.34 where applicable to pressure-containing valve-type constructions, together with applicable piping, flange and project specifications based on the strainer type, pressure class, material and connection configuration. Testing requirements should be confirmed against the selected strainer design and project specification.
