Stainless steel Y-type filters are process equipment used to retain sediment and solid particles within liquid flow. The Y-shaped body design provides easy access to the filter element, making cleaning and maintenance practical. They help protect pumps, valves, measuring instruments and other sensitive equipment on the line from foreign matter.
Thanks to their hygienic design and stainless steel construction, they offer corrosion resistance, durability and easy cleanability. Depending on operating conditions, they can be supplied with different connection sizes, seal types and filtration sensitivities.
Material Grades and Properties
Stainless steel Y-type filters can be produced in different stainless steel grades according to the process conditions and corrosion environment:
| Grade | Properties |
|---|---|
| AISI 304 / 304L | A suitable option for general-purpose processes, food production and standard industrial applications. |
| AISI 316 / 316L | Provides higher resistance in chloride-containing, chemical or high-corrosion risk environments. |
| Filter Element | A cleanable stainless steel filter element with different mesh and filtration sensitivities according to process needs. |
| Seal Options | EPDM, silicone, FKM or similar seal options suitable for the fluid and operating temperature. |
