Micromold's FLUOR-O-FLO® PTFE and PVDF Strainers are well suited for use in removing suspended or waste solids from extremely corrosive or high-purity fluid steams. They help prevent damage to sensitive downstream process components such as pumps, valves, instruments and spray nozzles. When compared with PVC, CPVC or PPL units, their all fluoroplastic construction provides superior corrosion resistance, as well as a higher operating temperature range. These strainers feature a knurled cap for easy cartridge removal and clean-out. The PTFE plug allows drainage of residual liquids before cartridge removal. Installation can be either horizontal or vertical. Particle sizes strained are 1 to 25,400 microns (0.00003" to 1") using either membranes, mesh screens or drilled holes. Minimum 2:1 open area ratio when used with 48% or higher open area mesh. Available in nominal sizes 1/2" through 4".
Standard end connections include:
- ANSI Class 150 flanged
- Socket -- IPS or metric sizes (PVDF units only)
- Female NPT
- Tri-Clamp
- Other connections available including ISO metric flanges and true-union
