Y-Type Strainers Forged Bar Conaco Type 787

Conaco Type 787 Y-type strainers are manufactured from forged bar stock for small diameter, high-pressure piping systems. They are typically installed upstream of control valves, pumps, instrumentation, and process equipment where solid retention is required in a compact, non-cast body.

Construction Range

• Type: Y strainer forged bar, Type 787.
• Pressure rating: #150 psi to #60,000 psi, depending on series specification.
• Sizes: ½″ to 3″.
• Connections: clamp or custom flanges, per project requirements.

Materials

Available in:

• carbon steel,
• low carbon steel,
• alloy steel and high alloy steel,
• special alloys.

Material selection should be based on piping class, pressure-temperature rating, media corrosivity, weldability, sour service, and project-specific requirements.

Screen and Configurations

Screens can be supplied in double or triple layer, mesh on perforated plate, or mesh-on-mesh. Magnetic assemblies are available for ferrous particle retention. Drain chamber can be configured with nipples, flanges, valves, or plugs as required.

Applications

Typical uses include high-pressure gas lines, hydraulic circuits, oil/gas processing, chemical plants, and auxiliary networks where compact construction and special connections are required. For pump suction, monitor Δp increase due to screen blockage versus available NPSH.

FAQ

When is forged bar preferred over cast strainer?
When pressure, small diameter, or project specification requires a body machined from forged bar.

Can it be fitted with an actuator?
No. This is a passive in-line filter.

Are test standards referenced?
Available documentation covers ratings, sizes, materials, and options, but does not specify test standards.
