# Industrial Specification: Strainer Basket

## 1. Technical Definition
A perforated or mesh basket component within an inlet strainer/filter housing that captures and retains solid contaminants from fluid streams.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-25 bar differential pressure, -20°C to 120°C fluid temperature, 0.5-5 m/s fluid velocity**. Failure boundary: **Mesh deformation at 30 bar differential pressure, mesh rupture at 40 bar differential pressure, clogging at 80% mesh area blockage**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation of mesh material (316L stainless steel, yield strength 290 MPa) exceeding elastic limit under differential pressure loading; fatigue crack propagation at mesh-weld junctions due to cyclic pressure fluctuations; laminar-turbulent flow transition causing vibration-induced resonance at 85 Hz natural frequency**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Particle accumulation exceeding 75% mesh porosity | 8 | Differential pressure increase to 28 bar causing housing seal failure | Install differential pressure transducer (0-40 bar range) with automated backwash at 20 bar threshold |
| Chloride ion concentration exceeding 1000 ppm at 60°C | 8 | Stress corrosion cracking initiating at mesh-weld heat affected zones | Replace 316L stainless steel with duplex 2205 stainless steel (PREN 35) for chloride environments |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are strainer baskets available in for machinery applications?
**A**: Strainer baskets are commonly manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, carbon steel for strength, plastics like PP or PVC for chemical compatibility, and brass for specific fluid handling needs.

### Q: What are the main components of a strainer basket assembly?
**A**: A typical strainer basket BOM includes the basket body (perforated/mesh), a handle or lifting lug for removal, a sealing gasket to prevent bypass, and a support ring for structural stability within the housing.

### Q: How does a strainer basket function in fluid systems?
**A**: The strainer basket is installed within an inlet strainer or filter housing, where it captures and retains solid contaminants (like debris or particulates) from fluid streams, protecting downstream machinery and equipment from damage.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 2852:2007 (STAINLESS STEEL CLAMP OR CRIMP-TYPE COUPLINGS FOR USE WITH SANITARY TUBING)
