Product details

🔧 SS Fabricated Basket Strainer – Technical Details 1. Description

An SS fabricated basket strainer is a heavy-duty inline filtration device made by fabrication (not casting). It removes solid particles from liquids or gases to protect pumps, valves, meters, heat exchangers, and other downstream equipment.
It uses a removable stainless steel basket housed inside a fabricated pressure vessel.
