Micromold's FLUOR-O-FLO® PTFE and PVDF Strainers are well suited for use in removing suspended or waste solids from extremely corrosive or high-purity fluid steams. They help prevent damage to sensitive downstream process components such as pumps, valves, instruments and spray nozzles. When compared with PVC, CPVC or PPL units, their all fluoroplastic construction provides superior corrosion resistance, as well as a higher operating temperature range. The screw top allows easy strainer cartridge removal and clean-out and the drain-plug allows drainage of residual liquids before cartridge removal. Both PTFE and PVDF strainers feature a removable and easily cleaned PTFE cartridge with fluoropolymer screen and FEP encapsulated silicone o-ring to prevent blow by. Particle sizes strained: 1 to 25,400 microns (0.00003" to 1") using either membranes, mesh screens or drilled holes. Minimum 6:1 open area ratio when used with 48% or higher open area mesh. Available in nominal sizes 1/2" through 3".
Standard end connections include:
- ANSI Class 150 flanged
- Socket -- IPS or metric sizes (PVDF units only)
- Female NPT
- Tri-Clamp
- Other connections available including ISO metric flanges and true-union
