Strainers provide coarse-level filtration without pressure drop
A new range of boss mount strainers which provide effective, coarse-level filtration in a compact, low-profile, yet robust design has recently been added to the line of safety screens available from Lee Products. These boss mount strainers are suitable for lubrication systems or for applications such as large fuel pumps in air-to-air refuelling systems which need a coarse inlet screen to filter out unwanted containments and debris, without the risk of pressure drop.
Manufactured from 304L stainless steel, they are available in six different thread sizes ranging from 0.750" to 1.875" to ensure optimum design flexibility. They feature a corrugated screen design which ensures a maximum open area for increased debris holding capacity and a single piece element that can withstand differential pressures up to 500 psid without rupture.
With an integral tool slot these strainers can be easily installed and removed for inspection. In addition, standard screen hole sizes include 0.038" and 0.062" making them suitable for lubrication systems, such as inlet screens for gearbox lubrication pumps or any type of system requiring effective and reliable coarse filtration.
Further details about the new range of boss mount strainers are available from www.leeproducts.co.uk.
