AXIS Strainers are a means of protecting downstream mechanical components such as Gauges, Analyzers, Flowmeters, and Back pressure regulators from possible damage due to debris such as rust, pipe scale, sediment, and/or other solid particulates. Machined seats in both body caps align and lock the screen in place to stop sediment bypass. Mesh construction ensures the best performance and its right area as well as additional strength of the body of the removable plug to increase life and reliability while opening and closing the plug.
