Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Fluidtrol's Glass Ceramic Matrix Composite strainer different?
It is a fiberglass/ceramic/vinyl ester matrix composite, seamless-cast, engineered for combined corrosion AND abrasion resistance — most strainer materials address only one, but this is explicitly marketed for aggressive seawater, scrubber, and other abrasive-plus-corrosive fluid systems.
How does a duplex basket strainer avoid production downtime?
Duplex strainers use twin independent chambers with isolation valves — flow diverts to the second chamber while the first is cleaned, enabling continuous, uninterrupted operation. Available in PVC, CPVC, PP, FRP, and PVDF, rated for 6 fps of the corresponding line size.
What basket materials does Fluidtrol offer for FRP strainers?
316 Stainless, AL6XN, CPVC, Hastelloy, Monel, PP, PVC, PVDF, and Titanium — a genuinely broad basket-material list for matching to specific chemical and abrasion conditions.
