Titan Flow Control's DS 696-CS Flanged Carbon Steel Duplex Strainer is a unique product within the pipeline industry. Like other basket strainers, the duplex strainer protects expensive downstream equipment by mechanically removing solids from flowing fluids via a perforated, mesh, or wedge wire straining element. However, the duplex strainer is designed with two basket chambers and a flow diverter system that allows the pipeline flow to be switched from one chamber to the other, completely isolating the flow to a single chamber. This makes the duplex strainer ideal for non-interruptible applications that cannot be shut down during routine maintenance and cleaning operations.
Note: Includes 304 Stainless Steel Baskets.
Features
- Dual-Ball Diverter Design: This duplex is designed with two stainless steel balls that efficiently divert the pipeline flow from one basket chamber to the other - teflon seats ensure a positive seal and help to prevent seepage into the chamber that is being serviced for cleaning
- Easy to Operate: Titan's duplex strainer features a low torque, easy to operate handle that does not require a gearbox - additionally, the handle's position clearly indicates which basket is in service and which basket can safely be removed for cleaning
- Reduced "In Line" Maintenance: Titan's duplex has numerous attributes that help reduce maintenance during cleaning operations - first, the dual ball design isolates each chamber and keeps the servicing chamber dry during cleaning - There are also no special tools required to access and remove the straining element form the chamber - Lastly, the duplex provides cover vents, drain plugs, and foot pads on each chamber
- Endless Screen Options: This strainer can be fitted with virtually any configuration of perforation or mesh lined straining elements - straining elements can also be constructed form special materials such as alloy 20 - please call 1-800-333-3331 for more information
