What Is a Temporary Strainer?

A temporary strainer is a removable pipeline filtration device installed during startup, system flushing, commissioning or maintenance. A temporary strainer captures weld slag, rust, scale, construction debris and foreign particles before these contaminants reach pumps, control valves, flow meters, turbines, compressors and sensitive downstream equipment.

Unlike permanent strainers, a temporary strainer is normally used for short-term protection during initial line operation. After the pipeline is clean and stable, the temporary strainer can be removed. ZONCIC supplies temporary strainer solutions for oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, water treatment and general industrial pipeline systems.
