different between basket type and wye type strainer and when we select basket type and when select wye type ?
Basket type & Wye type Strainer?
Y-Strainers are devices for mechanically removing solids from flowing liquids or gases by means of a perforated or wire mesh straining element. They are used in pipelines to protect equipment such as pumps, meters, control valves, steam traps and regulators.
Although there are occasional exceptions, the use of Y-strainers generally follows several rules. First, they are ordinarily employed where the amount of material to be removed is small. Size for size, their dirt holding capacity is less than a basket strainer. Next, Y-strainers are usually installed when frequent clean-out is not needed. There are Y-strainers in service on steam lines, for example, that are not cleaned more than once a year. Generally, Y-strainers are used with gases such as steam or air. Basket strainers are used with liquids.
For handling steam, a Y-Strainer is the standard and is almost universally used. Its compact, cylindrical shape is very strong and can handle high pressures. It is, literally, a pressure vessel. Y-strainers which handle pressures up to 6,000 psi are not uncommon. Of course, in these cases, safety is very important and Y-strainers, if properly designed, can be used at these pressures without fear of failure. When high pressure steam is being handled, another complicating factor arises - temperature. With steam pressures of 1500 psi or higher, standard carbon steel is sometimes not suitable because the steam temperature may be 1000 degrees F or even higher.
*An official definition adopted by the Fluid Controls Institute is : �A closed vessel with cleanable screen element designed to remove and retain foreign particles down to 0.001 inch diameter from various flowing fluids.� Note the term �foreign particles�. Strainers do not necessarily remove only dirt. They take out material which is not wanted in the fluid and this can sometime be a valuable product which may be saved.

What is the difference between a strainer and a filter? Actually there isn�t any since a strainer is, in reality, a coarse filter. The question is then one of semantics. Generally it is assumed that if the particle to be removed is not visible to the naked eye, the unit is filtering, and if the particle is visible, the unit is straining. The average human eye can detect a specific particle between 50 and 70 micros. Most people cannot see anything smaller than 325 mesh, or 44 microns. Since 200 mesh is equivalent to 74 microns, a general rule would be that if the screening device is coarser than 200 mesh, it is a strainer and if it is finer than 200 mesh it is a filter.
One of the best uses for a strainer is in conduction with a filter. By installing a strainer directly ahead of a filter, the large heavy pieces which would quickly clog the filter are removed. The filter is then free to do its major job of fine particle removal and does not have to be cleaned so often.
