# Industrial Specification: Strainer

## 1. Technical Definition
A filtration component within condensate traps that removes solid contaminants from condensate fluid.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-25 bar differential pressure, -20°C to 120°C fluid temperature**. Failure boundary: **Mesh deformation at 35 bar differential pressure, material yield strength exceeded at 250 MPa stress**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation of 316L stainless steel mesh due to differential pressure exceeding material yield strength, causing permanent mesh distortion and loss of filtration efficiency**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Particulate accumulation exceeding 85% mesh surface coverage | 8 | Pressure drop increase to 1.8 times design specification, flow reduction to 40% of rated capacity | Install differential pressure sensor with 0.5 bar threshold alarm and automated backwash system |
| Chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking at chloride concentration &gt;25 ppm in 60°C condensate | 8 | Mesh fracture and bypass of unfiltered condensate, particle contamination downstream | Replace 316L stainless steel with duplex 2205 stainless steel for chloride resistance up to 100 ppm at 80°C |
