Description
SSY Series — Stainless Steel “Y” Type Strainers
The SSY Series “Y” Type Strainers are stainless steel pipeline accessories designed to remove dirt, scale, rust, and other solid particles from fluid flow in piping systems. These strainers provide corrosion-resistant and reliable protection for pumps, meters, valves, traps, turbines, and compressors in industrial and commercial applications.
Corrosion-Resistant Pipeline Protection
The SSY Series strainers are ideal for applications requiring superior corrosion resistance and clean service conditions. Their compact Y-pattern design allows efficient filtration with minimal pressure drop while enabling easy screen access for cleaning and maintenance.
Material Specification
- Body: Stainless Steel
Technical Specification
- Sizes: 1/2" through 2"
- Connections: Threaded NPT, Socket Weld (SW)
- Screen Mesh Size: 20 Mesh
- Design: Y-Type with removable stainless steel screen
Operating Principles
As fluid passes through the SSY Series strainer, it flows through an angled stainless steel mesh screen that traps solid contaminants while allowing clean fluid to continue downstream. Collected debris accumulates in the screen pocket and can be easily removed during scheduled maintenance to ensure consistent system performance.
SSY Series Models
The SSY Series is available in multiple sizes with threaded and socket weld end connections. Standard 20-mesh screens are supplied, with special mesh sizes available upon request for specific filtration requirements.
Applications
- Steam, water, oil, and gas piping systems
- Corrosive and clean fluid services
- Pumps and control valves
- Steam traps and regulators
- Industrial and commercial process piping
Notes
SSY strainers should be installed with the screen pocket facing downward to ensure proper debris collection. Regular inspection and cleaning of the screen are recommended to maintain filtration efficiency and minimize pressure drop. For special mesh sizes or material requirements, consult factory.
