Y Strainer

A Y-strainer is a type of mechanical strainer or filter used in pipelines to remove solid contaminants from flowing fluids, typically in a liquid or gas form. It is called a “Y-strainer” due to its Y-shaped configuration, which resembles the letter Y. Y-strainers are commonly used in industrial applications to protect downstream equipment and components, such as pumps, valves, and instruments, from damage caused by debris or solid particles in the fluid.
