Carbon & Stainless Steel Strainers

Product Resources
At Flowell, we proudly offer a complete line of high-quality carbon & stainless steel strainers designed to meet the diverse needs of industries like oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, water treatment, and more. With over 30 years of expertise in flow measurement and custom machining, we know how crucial it is to maintain reliable system operations. That’s why our strainers are built with precision and durability in mind.
Our strainers using only the best materials, available in sizes from 1″ to 24″, with open area ratios ranging from 100% to 300%. Whether you need fine mesh filtration or heavy-duty particle separation, we offer products tailored to your exact specifications.
High-Performance Carbon & Stainless Steel Strainers
Strainers protect downstream equipment by removing debris, scale, sediment, and other particulates from process fluids. Poor filtration can lead to equipment damage, reduced efficiency, and costly downtime. That’s why every strainer we produce is engineered and rigorously tested to perform in even the harshest industrial environments.
Our carbon steel and stainless steel strainers are designed to provide long-term durability and high-performance filtration under pressure. We use a range of liner or mesh wire sizes to customize filtration, helping you optimize system integrity without sacrificing flow rates.
Why Strainers are Essential for Process Efficiency
Strainers play a critical role in ensuring system reliability by maintaining clean process fluids. They help prevent costly damage to equipment and reduce operational downtime.
Durable Carbon Steel Strainers for Cost-Effective Filtration
Our carbon steel strainers offer a cost-effective solution for many industrial applications, particularly when corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. Carbon steel delivers the toughness and durability required for high-pressure systems, and it’s often chosen for its structural integrity and lower upfront investment.
Applications for Carbon Steel Strainers
These strainers are perfect for:
- General-purpose filtration in oil & gas pipelines
- Non-corrosive fluid handling
- Water and steam applications
- Industrial process lines with high temperatures and pressures
To enhance corrosion resistance and extend service life, we offer coatings like epoxy, zinc plating, and primer options, depending on your operational needs.
Stainless Steel Strainers for Superior Corrosion Resistance
When corrosion resistance is critical, stainless steel strainers are the superior choice. These models are designed for longevity, minimal maintenance, and superior strength, making them ideal for applications in aggressive chemicals, high-purity liquids, and food-grade environments.
Applications for Stainless Steel Strainers
Our stainless steel strainers are commonly used in:
- Chemical and petrochemical processing
- Pharmaceutical production
- Food and beverage manufacturing
- Offshore and marine environments
- Corrosive wastewater systems
We offer 304 and 316 stainless steel grades, both of which provide excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical degradation. For demanding applications, such as those involving chlorides or extreme temperatures, we can discuss other stainless alloys to meet your needs.
Customizable Carbon & Stainless Steel Strainers for Every Need
Our strainers offer a variety of customization options. We provide configurations with open areas from 100% to 300%, depending on your system’s pressure drop tolerances and desired debris-holding capacity.
Tailored Filtration for Your Specific Requirements
By using different liner or mesh wire sizes, we tailor filtration to your exact requirements—from coarse separation to fine mesh filtering of minute contaminants. Whether you need a 100-micron mesh or something more robust, our engineering team will help design the right strainer for your application.
Customization options include:
- Mesh size (measured in microns or mesh count)
- Strainer type: basket, Y-type, tee-type, or cone strainers
- End connections: flanged, threaded, or weld-end
- Drain and blow-off ports
- Lifting lugs, support legs, and other accessories
Built to Meet Industry Standards for Maximum Performance
Our strainers are built to meet relevant industry standards like ASME B31.3, ANSI flange specifications, and other applicable codes. We test all our strainers for pressure containment and leak integrity before they leave our facility.
You can rely on us for:
- High-pressure ratings up to ANSI Class 2500
- Full traceability of materials
- Hydrostatic and pneumatic testing
- Optional certifications such as NACE compliance or PED/CE marking
Our team can provide data sheets, CAD drawings, or 3D models to assist with your system design, procurement process, or technical submittal package.
Strainers Sized for Your Application—From 1″ to 24″
We manufacture strainers in sizes ranging from 1 inch to 24 inches, ensuring a perfect fit for both small systems and large-scale operations. Whether you’re outfitting a pilot plant or upgrading a major process facility, we can scale our products to meet your infrastructure.
We also accommodate special design requests for sizes outside the standard range or unique connection and geometry requirements. Contact us today, and we’ll be happy to provide solutions and guidance.
