Ansi Din Strainer
ANSI DIN strainers are pipeline filtration devices designed to mechanically remove small amounts of solid particles from liquids or gases. With a compact and robust design, they protect downstream equipment and are suitable for high-pressure industrial applications.
Overview
ANSI DIN strainers are used to remove unwanted solid particles from flowing fluids by means of a filtration screen. They are typically applied where the amount of solids is limited and frequent cleaning is not required, ensuring reliable protection for valves, pumps, meters, and other sensitive equipment.
