Fabricated Temporary Pipeline Strainers
Keckley offers fabricated temporary pipeline strainers in cone, basket, or plate strainers. These temporary pipeline strainers are a cost effectives mean for
temporary straining for start-up applications. Fabricated temporary cone,
basket, or plate strainers are designed for initial start-up and should not be
used as a permanent straining solution in place of Y-strainers, basket
strainers, tee strainers, or duplex basket strainers.

Keckley fabricated temporary cone and basket strainers are constructed of a heavy gauge
perforated plate with drilled holes on off-set centers to catch debris in
pipelines during start-up. Temporary cone or basket strainers can be fabricated
to any length in many different types of metals or alloys. Standard lengths are
100% or 150%. This refers to the open area of the cone or basket to the cross
section of the inlet pipe.
Temporary basket strainers are shorter
in length than temporary cone strainers. Temporary cone or basket strainers can
be supplied with mesh lining on the inside or outside of the cone or basket
depending upon the orientation of the cone or basket to the flow of the media.
Temporary basket strainers will have a slightly higher pressure loss across
them than temporary cone strainers. Temporary plate strainers will have the
highest pressure drop.
Special reinforcing rings and supports can be installed to maintain
integrity of the cone or basket for heavy load applications where the
differential pressure will exceed 20-30 psi.
