Eaton Simplex Strainers

Overview

A simplex basket strainer is used where the line can be shut down for short periods to clean or change the basket. It becomes an integral part of the pipeline, and all flow passes through it.

A basket strainer is installed upright, and the basket is lifted out from the top. This makes it easier to use with gummy or sticky fluids or with large pipeline sizes where the filled basket weight can be considerable. However, unlike a Y strainer, it also means that a basket strainer must be installed in a horizontal line.

Eaton Model 72 Simplex Basket Strainer

Sizes 3/8" to 8" • Iron, Bronze, Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel • Threaded or Flanged

The Eaton Model 72 Simplex Basket Strainer is perfect for industrial and commercial applications where the line can be temporarily shut down for strainer basket cleaning or changeout. This model comes with a large basket capacity. The free straining area with a perforated basket is about six times the cross-sectional pipe area. The quick opening, swinging yoke can be disassembled and the basket removed in seconds. On sizes 4" and larger, a special cover clamp is provided to distribute the seating pressure and to ensure positive seating of the cover. Each comes with a threaded drain on every size strainer (fitted with a plug). Sizes 2" and larger are provided with legs that bolt to the floor for rock solid installation. The basket seats are precision machined to give a tight seal and prevent any material from by-passing the basket.

Features:

• Quick open cover—no tools needed • Heavy wall construction • Large capacity baskets • Machined basket seat • Threaded drain • Perforated stainless basket • Mounting feet for stable installation

Available Options:

Basket perforations from 1/32" to 1/2", Basket mesh from 20 to 400, Monel baskets, Viton, PTFE-encapsulated, or EPDM seals, Vent valves, Gauge taps - 1/4" NPT, Magnetic basket inserts, Pressure differential gauge and switch.

Eaton Model 72 Large Simplex Basket Strainer

Sizes 10" to 18" • Iron or Bronze • Flanged

Large size pipelines with high flow rates require a unique type of basket strainer. The typical design for smaller size pipelines just won’t perform efficiently—the pressure loss would be too high and the baskets too large to remove and clean easily. These problems have been solved by the Eaton Straight Through Flow design simplex basket strainer. With this straight through flow, pressure loss is greatly reduced and results in a compact strainer that can fit in tight spaces. The perforated or mesh straining screen in the basket is convoluted (pleated). This increases the amount of straining area available while at the same time reducing the overall basket size and weight. This makes it easy to remove the basket from the strainer housing. No lifting tackle is required. The quick opening cover provides fast and easy access to the basket—making it quick and easy to service. Over time, this can save you considerable time and money in labor. When selecting a pipeline strainer for a large size piping system with high flow rates, be sure to consider all the factors, not just initial pressure loss. The amount of straining area in the basket is critical to reducing the amount of time between cleanings or change out

Features:

• Quick open cover • Straight through flow design • Low pressure loss • Convoluted basket design • Hand removable basket • Threaded Drain • Buna-N O-ring seal • Standard perforated stainless steel basket • Low profile • No tools required for access

Available Options:

Basket perforations from 1/32" to 1/2", Basket mesh of 20 or 40, Monel baskets, Vent valves, Drain valves, Gauge taps - 1/4" NPT, Pressure differential gauge and switches.

Eaton Model 90 Fabricated Simplex Strainer

Sizes 4" to 24" • Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel • Flanged

The Eaton Model 90 Fabricated Simplex Strainer has been designed for manufacturing flexibility. It can be made for pipeline sizes from 1˝ to 48˝ in carbon steel or stainless steel although other materials can be specified. Three different ratings of flange connections are commonly available: ANSI Class 150, 300, and 600. Higher pressures are also available. The strainer features an in-line design that adapts to most applications. Two different types of covers are available. The simplest type is the bolted cover which is simple and cost effective and works well in applications where basket changing is infrequent. A davit assembly can also be specified for larger strainers with heavy covers. This makes it possible for a single person to remove the cover of the strainer.

Features:

• Sizes from 4˝ to 24˝ - As Standard • Available in Carbon Steel - Stainless Steel* • Flanged ANSI Class 150 and 300 - As Standard • Flanged Class 600 and higher - Available on request • Two cover types available: quick opening hinged & bolted blind • Davit assembly optional • Basket material: stainless steel, 1/ 32˝ to 1/ 2˝ perforation diameter. 20 to 400 mesh linings also available.
