Best T-Type Strainer for High-Flow Oil, Gas, Water, Power & Chemical Pipelines | MNC VALVES India
T-Type Strainers are now the go-to choice for protecting high–flow pipelines in industries like oil and gas, chemicals, water, power, and heavy manufacturing. These strainers are built to handle tough filtration tasks, helping maintain steady flow, protect important equipment, and make the most out of costly downstream assets. As a reliable Indian manufacturer, MNC VALVES creates T-Type Strainers that are tough, precise, and designed to work well even in tough environments.
What Is a T-Type Strainer?
A T-Type Strainer, sometimes called a Tee Strainer, is a type of mechanical filter used in pipes to catch unwanted debris, contaminants, rust, scale, and other solid materials in the flowing liquid or gas. It is commonly used in situations where it’s important to keep the system protected continuously, allow for a lot of flow, and keep the pressure loss low.
This strainer is built in a T shape and includes a filter made of holes or a mesh that traps the impurities without slowing down the flow too much.
Construction of T-Type Strainers
MNC VALVES makes T-Type Strainers with strong engineering standards that work well for pipelines with high pressure and high temperature. The main parts used in building these strainers include:
1. Body
Typically fabricated from Stainless Steel (SS304 / SS316), Carbon Steel (WCB / A105), Cast Iron, or Duplex materials.
Designed to withstand corrosion, pressure surges, and abrasive media.
Tee-shaped, allowing flexible installation in horizontal or vertical pipelines.
2. Filter Basket / Element
Customizable mesh size (10–500 microns) based on process requirement.
Available in perforated sheet, fine wire mesh, or combination mesh for multi-stage filtration.
High open-area design improves flow rate and reduces pressure drop.
3. Cover / Cap Assembly
Quick-removable cap for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Optional blowdown connection for online cleaning in continuous process plants.
4. Gaskets & Fasteners
Temperature-resistant gaskets ensure leakproof sealing.
High-strength fasteners maintain structural integrity under pipeline vibration and shock loads.
5. Drain / Vent Ports
Integrated drain plug for sludge removal.
Vent ports ensure safe depressurization during maintenance.
How T-Type Strainers Work
The working principle is straightforward, yet highly effective:
Unfiltered media enters the strainer body through the inlet.
Flow is redirected through the filter element.
Solid impurities, rust flakes, welding slag, dirt, scale, and debris are trapped inside the mesh.
Clean media exits through the outlet with minimal pressure loss.
Collected contaminants remain in the basket until periodic manual cleaning or blowdown discharge.
This simple mechanism prevents pump damage, valve jamming, meter malfunction, heat exchanger choking, and pipeline failure—making T-Type Strainers an essential element in all industrial pipelines.
