About Wire Cloth and Plastic Mesh

How to Identify and Measure Fittings

Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Contain, reinforce, separate, or protect materials with this stiff mesh. It is often used in ovens and dryers and can be used with food and beverages.

To Order: Please specify length in 5-ft. increments up to the maximum length listed.

Ultra-Thin Filter Fabric

With thickness similar to filter paper, this fabric provides higher flow and is more flexible than felt. It’s often used to filter water, light oil, and water soluble and synthetic coolants in metal polishing, grinding, and finishing applications. This fabric is also good for filtering air and petroleum.

Polyester fabric is 100% polyester for greater strength than rayon/polyester.

Screens for Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers

Use these replacement screens with our Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers. Designed for use in dairy, food, and other process lines that use clean-in-place (CIP) systems, they prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other downstream components. Insert the screen into the strainer, then add a gasket and clamp to seal. The screen catches particles larger than 1/8" without restricting flow.

Stainless Steel Quick-Clamp T-Strainers

Max. Pressure for Beverage, Dairy, Food, Pharmaceuticals, and Water: 150 psi @ 72° F
Temp. Range: -50° to 275° F

Add these inline T-strainers to your sanitary process line to trap solid particles during clean-in-place (CIP) cycles. They have quick-clamp sanitary tube connections, also known as tri-clamp connections, for use in dairy, food, and other process lines that require frequent cleaning and disassembly. As the high-pressure cleaning fluid flows through your line, the strainer's screen catches particles larger than 1/8" to prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other downstream components. And because the total open area of the screen is larger than the area of the tube itself, the screen will not restrict flow.

Strainers come with a gasket and clamp to secure the screen inside the strainer. Gaskets and clamps for connecting the strainer to your line are sold separately. A handle lets you remove the screen to clean it between runs.

Draw metal shavings and other contaminants out of your sanitary liquid line with these strainers. As liquid swirls through the strainer cavity, magnets sealed inside capture any metal bits. Remaining impurities are separated out with gravity and trapped in a collection sump. Empty the strainers by removing the lid and scooping up the collected particles at the bottom of the enclosure. These strainers have quick-clamp connections, so they’re good for frequent deep cleans and line changes. Also known as tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a gasket, a clamp, and another quick-clamp fitting for quick removal and assembly.

These strainers are 316 stainless steel, which won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. The continuous weld seams and polished surfaces are free of pits and crevices where bacteria could grow, making them easy to sanitize. Rated for high temperatures, you can keep these strainers on your line during a heated clean-in-place (CIP) process. All strainers and their included gasket are FDA compliant, meaning they are safe for food contact.

Filters that are USDA certified meet the highest standards of sanitary design.
