  Protecting pumps and valves from debris during system startup ensures reliable operation and avoids costly downtime. New or modified pipelines often carry leftover construction materials—like rust, welding slag, and scale—that can seriously damage sensitive components. This is where conical strainers play a critical role. What Are Conical Strainers and Why Are They Important? Conical strainers (temporary cone strainers )are cone-shaped mesh or perforated metal filters placed between pipe flanges. They're designed for short-term use during pipeline systems' commissioning or startup phase . When fluid flows through a newly installed system, it can carry construction debris that may damage pumps, control valves, and meters. Conical strainers capture this debris early on, offering essential protection when the system is most vulnerable. Why Startup Debris Is Dangerous New pipeline systems often contain: Welding slag Rust particles Pipe scale Jointing compound These materials ca...
