Filters And Strainers:

When it is essential to remove suspended solids from a liquid, a common method is to filter or strain the liquid. The two methods differ just within the size of the mesh being used. Filtering erased the extremely small solids, and straining removes the larger solids. Since filtering and straining are for all practical reasons the similar, this theory will differentiate the two terms on the basis of application of the strainer or filter.

Introduction

Filtration is a procedure used to erased suspended solids from a solution. Other processes like as demineralization erased ions or dissolved ions. Different filters and strainers are used for different applications. In common, the filter passage have to be small sufficient to catch the suspended solids but huge sufficient in which the system could operate at normal system pressures and flows. Filters and strainers are used throughout most DOE facilities. They are used in hydraulic systems, liquid waste disposal, oil systems, water purification, cooling systems, and reactor coolant systems.
