Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SSI from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in SSI Y strainers?
SSI Y strainers are available with carbon steel or stainless steel bodies. The screens are typically 304 stainless steel, perforated or mesh, with screen sizes such as 0.0313 in or 0.0469 in. Seal materials are 304 stainless steel. Connections are NPT threaded. These materials are selected for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in industrial piping systems.
What is the difference between SSI basket strainers and Y strainers?
SSI basket strainers have a larger dirt-holding capacity than Y strainers due to their cylindrical basket design. They are suitable for applications with higher debris loads. SSI basket strainers come in carbon steel or stainless steel, with NPT connections, and screen sizes like 0.0312 in or 0.0468 in. Y strainers are more compact and used for lower debris volumes. Both use 304 stainless steel screens.
Are SSI double-door wafer check valves suitable for vertical installation?
SSI double-door wafer check valves are designed for inline installation between flanges. They can be installed in vertical or horizontal piping, provided the flow direction is upward in vertical lines to ensure proper disc operation. The valves feature CF8M stainless steel seats and are available in sizes from 2 in to 8 in.
What screen sizes are available for SSI suction diffusion strainers?
SSI suction diffusion strainers, such as the 3 in and 8 in models, use a 304 stainless steel screen with a 0.0331 in perforation size. These strainers have cast iron bodies and Buna-N seals. They are designed for pump suction protection and come with FF flanged connections.
Can SSI strainers be used in water cooling systems?
Yes, SSI basket strainers are compatible with water cooling applications. For example, the SSI Basket Strainer (MPN 0200-300B2TT-B) is specified for water cooling. It features a stainless steel body, 304 stainless steel screen, and NPT connections. The screen size is 0.0468 in, suitable for removing particulates from cooling water.
