Y-Strainer
A Y strainer is a type of mechanical filter with a mesh or perforated metal straining element used in pipelines to remove unwanted solids from liquids, gases, or steam. It is named for its Y-shaped design, which allows it to be installed in either horizontal or vertical pipelines.
Function
The primary function of a Y strainer is to protect downstream equipment, such as pumps, turbines, spray nozzles, heat exchangers, condensers, steam traps, and meters, from damage caused by debris and solid particles. The strainer captures these particles, ensuring that only clean fluid passes through.
Applications
- Industrial Processes: Used in various industrial applications to protect equipment and maintain process integrity.
- Water Treatment: Ensures clean water by removing particles and contaminants.
- Oil and Gas: Protects pipelines and processing equipment from debris.
- HVAC Systems: Used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to prevent clogging and damage.

A Double Chamber Air Relief Valve is a specialized type of valve designed to automatically release trapped air or gases from liquid-filled systems, such as pipelines, while preventing the escape of liquid. These valves are critical in maintaining system efficiency, preventing air-related issues like water hammer, corrosion, and reduced flow capacity. The “double chamber” design allows for continuous operation, as one chamber can release air while the other refills, ensuring uninterrupted performance.
How It Works:
- Air Release Mechanism:
- The valve has two chambers, each equipped with a float and a venting mechanism.
- When air enters the valve, the float drops, opening the vent to release the air.
- As air is released, the float rises, closing the vent to prevent liquid from escaping.
- Double Chamber Design:
- While one chamber is releasing air, the other chamber is filling with liquid, ensuring continuous operation without interruption.
- This design allows the valve to handle large volumes of air efficiently.
- Automatic Operation:
- The valve operates automatically based on the presence of air, requiring no manual intervention.
Key Features:
- Continuous Air Release:
- The double chamber design ensures uninterrupted air release, even during high air inflow conditions.
- Compact and Efficient:
- Designed to handle large volumes of air in a compact form factor.
- Durable Construction:
- Made from materials like stainless steel, brass, or corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand harsh environments.
- High-Pressure and High-Temperature Capability:
- Suitable for use in systems with high pressure and temperature conditions.
- Bubble-Tight Seal:
- Prevents liquid leakage while allowing air to escape.
Applications:
- Water Supply Systems: To remove air from pipelines and prevent airlocks.
- Irrigation Systems: To maintain efficient water flow and prevent air-related issues.
- Wastewater Treatment Plants: To release gases like methane and hydrogen sulfide from pipelines.
- Industrial Pipelines: In chemical, oil, and gas industries to ensure smooth operation.
- Heating and Cooling Systems: To remove air from closed-loop systems, improving efficiency.
Float Level Control Valve

Pressure: PN 10 / PN 16
Body: Ductile Iron
Ball: 316 SS
Seat: Brass
Standards:
Design: EN 1074-5
Face to Face: EN 558-1 (ISO 5752)

Float Level Control Valve is a mechanical device used to regulate the level of liquids in tanks, reservoirs, or other containers. It operates based on the principle of buoyancy, where a float rises or falls with the liquid level, mechanically opening or closing the valve to maintain the desired liquid level. These valves are commonly used in water storage tanks, boilers, cooling towers, and other systems where consistent liquid levels are critical.
How It Works:
- Float Mechanism:
- A float, typically made of lightweight and buoyant materials like foam or hollow plastic/metal, is attached to a lever or arm.
- As the liquid level rises, the float rises with it. Conversely, when the liquid level drops, the float descends.
- Valve Operation:
- The float is connected to a valve (usually a globe valve or ball valve) via a lever or linkage.
- When the liquid level reaches the desired height, the float’s upward movement causes the valve to close, stopping the inflow of liquid.
- When the liquid level drops, the float descends, opening the valve to allow more liquid into the tank.
- Adjustability:
- Many float level control valves allow for adjustment of the desired liquid level by changing the length of the lever or the position of the float.
Applications:
- Water Storage Tanks: To maintain consistent water levels in overhead or ground-level tanks.
- Boilers: To control the water level and prevent overfilling or dry running.
- Cooling Towers: To regulate the water level in cooling systems.
- Sewage and Wastewater Treatment: To manage liquid levels in treatment tanks.
- Industrial Processes: In chemical, food, and beverage industries for liquid level control.
- Aquariums and Pools: To maintain water levels automatically.
