To some, the difference between a metal water strainer and metal water filter is a matter of semantics since many design engineers use the term filter and strainer interchangeably.

Instruction

1. The major difference between a metal water filter and a metal water strainer is particulate size to be removed from process media. Metal water filters typically remove smaller particles than metal water strainers, although the desired result is the same—to separate and remove harmful or unwanted material.

2. The most important consideration is insuring that the filter or strainer selected will remove the particles from your specific application.

3. Like metal water filters, metal water strainers or strainer elements manufactured by Yankee are used primarily in commercial and industrial/OEM applications. Metal water strainers are manufactured from wire mesh, perforated metal, or expanded metal, and are often placed in-line with process piping to remove larger particulate matter and contaminants that may damage pumps, valves and other process equipment. 

4. Metal water strainer can also be used to separate, or screen one substance from another. Typical applications include food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, hydraulic, and general industrial applications.

5. Metal water strainers possess design characteristics which make them a superior alternative to paper filters. Metal water strainers are inherently cleanable and reusable. Properly designed, they can withstand temperatures in excess of 500 ° F, extremely high pressure differentials and caustic/corrosive environments.
