I would like to send some usefull information regarding Piping. Which I found in some websites.
Please check out now it is for Strainers

Strainers
FUNCTION OF PIPING COMPONENT
A strainer is a device used to provide a mechanical means of removing solids from a flowing liquid or gas by using a barrier.
Strainers are classified into three categories:
(1) Simplex
A strainer consisting of a single element chamber that normally requires the flow through the unit to be shutdown before cleaning.
Conical Strainer - serves as temporary strainer for temporary installation during the commissioning, or start up service for the efficient removal of solids/debris for the protection of Fluid and Gas handling equipment from damage. This can be installed either vertically or horizontally. Also, it can be manufacture using any kind of wire mesh or perforated plate, in carbon steel and stainless steel or in alloys.
Y”-Type Strainer - economical method of protecting the pipeline equipment by removing solids/debris from flowing liquid or gas.
T-Type Strainer - fabricated to satisfy any filtration requirements and provide a very high filtering area, therefore ensuring a very low pressure drops.
TEE STRAINER
Bucket Type Strainer - Simple and efficient method of protecting the vital pipeline equipment by removing of solids/debris and reducing expensive plant maintenance.
(2) Duplex or Multiplex
A strainer usually consisting of at least two elements chambers separated by a valve that permits continuous flow of fluid through one chamber while the other is accessible for cleaning.
(3) Automatic (Self Cleaning)
A strainer providing some means of back flushing or cleaning of the straining element while the unit is in service.
Good information. Jamison Products (www.jamisonproducts.com) in Houston is a really good source for all types of strainers. They can provide calculated pressure drop and sizing help. They are part of an API committee in which they are getting real life pressure drop readings, so their calculations are backed up. The guys over there are really great to work with. Their website also has spec sheets on it.
