Yarway Pipeline Wye Strainers are in thousands of applications in chemical, petroleum, pulp and paper and utilities, as well as numerous commercial and institutional locations.

These strainers have been designed following time tested principals to conform to applicable codes and standards such as Power Piping ANSI B31.1. They have successfully passed stringent shock and vibration tests.

Body materials and end connections conform to recognized standards. Screens are stainless steel or monel, Spark-plug-like, clad, non-asbestos gaskets are used to provide reliable sealing with minimal loading. Screens are guided, not crushed, into bodies, caps and covers for confident particle retention.

How to Select
There are three important components in selection:

1. Design and operating pressures and temperatures-Look at the curves in Figure 2. Select the strainer rating that meets both the design and the operating requirements.
2. Flow rate and pressure drop-Select a strainer pipe size that will yield a pressure drop of 1-1/2 psi or less. This will accomodate increases in pressure drop due to dirt or alternate screens without causing the screen to rupture.
3. Look at the Selection Table on page 4 and pick the strainer series that meets the conditions of 1 and 2 above, and is compatible with the flowing medium.

Applications
The Yarway Pipeline Wye Strainers are suitable for use in a variety of fluid systems such as air, chemical, condensate, gas, oil, petroleum or water lines, for the protection of valves, pumps, compressors, condensers, flow meters, nozzels, steam traps and other vunerable equipment.

Features and Benefits

• Body Material-ASTM and/or ASME as permitted under Boiler Code and Power Piping Code. Provides assurance of quality and suitability for pressure/temperature adjustment in non-shock service.
• Straight Threads on Cap-for easy removal when screen replacement is necessary.
• Clad non-asbestos sparkplug-type gasket provides reliable seal on machined body and cap.
• Guided Screen-Screens fit into controlled machined bores in body and cap, and are not crushed. This fit provides good screen alignment and reliable capture of particles.
• Installation-Can be installed in vertical and horizontal piping with the blowdown connection oriented in any preferred direction.
• Design-Meets ANSI B31.1 and Navy Spec MIL-S-2953. Provides conformance to recognized codes and standards for assurance of quality.
