Strainer

What is the main purpose of a process line strainer?

• To add flavor to the liquid

• To filter out unwanted solids and debris

• To create pressure in the pipeline

• To measure the flow rate of the fluid

What factor is NOT important when selecting a mesh size for a strainer?

• The type of fluid being filtered

• The cost of the mesh material

• The size of the particles to be removed

• The desired flow rate through the strainer

How does a finer mesh size affect the pressure drop in a strainer?

• It decreases the pressure drop

• It has no effect on pressure drop

• It increases the pressure drop

• It depends on the type of fluid

Which of the following is NOT a good practice for maintaining a process line strainer?

• Regularly inspecting and cleaning the element

• Replacing the element when it becomes clogged or damaged

• Leaving the element dirty to increase filtration efficiency

• Following the manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedures

What material is typically used for strainers handling corrosive liquids?

• Carbon steel

• Plastic

• Stainless steel

• Rubber

What is a bypass valve used for in a strainer system?

• To adjust the pressure of the fluid

• To monitor the flow rate of the fluid

• To prevent the strainer from becoming clogged

• To allow for cleaning or replacement of the strainer element without interrupting flow

What indicates that the strainer is functioning properly?

• Large filtration area

• High pressure rating

• Easy cleaning without interrupting flow

• Acceptable pressure drop across the line

What can happen if a strainer is not cleaned regularly?

• It will increase the flow rate

• It will damage downstream equipment

• It will improve the filtration efficiency

• It will have no impact on the process

How can you prevent leaks from occurring around a process line strainer?

• Use a larger-than-necessary mesh size

• Ensure proper installation and sealing

• Clean the element less frequently

• Increase the pressure in the system
