316L Stainless Steel Strainer Basket, 60 Mesh, 3 Inch NPT, Electro-Polished, 1.5mm Thick
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory specializes in producing high-quality wire mesh products. Our 316L Stainless Steel Strainer Basket, 60 Mesh, 3 Inch NPT, Electro-Polished, 1.5mm Thick is designed to deliver exceptional filtration performance in demanding industrial applications. With annual export value exceeding US$5 million and serving markets across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, we bring decades of expertise to every product we manufacture. This strainer basket combines premium materials with precise engineering to ensure reliable, long-lasting service.
The strainer basket is crafted from 316L stainless steel, which offers superior corrosion resistance against chlorides, acids, and harsh chemicals compared to standard 304 stainless steel. The 60 mesh (0.25mm opening) provides effective filtration for particles down to approximately 250 microns, making it suitable for water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries. The 3 inch NPT female connection allows easy installation into standard pipe systems, and the electro-polished surface reduces friction, prevents particle adhesion, and simplifies cleaning. With a wall thickness of 1.5mm, the basket maintains structural integrity under moderate pressure conditions.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Superior Material: 316L stainless steel with low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring excellent intergranular corrosion resistance.
- Precision Mesh: 60 mesh woven from 0.18mm wire diameter, providing a balance between flow rate and filtration fineness.
- Electro-Polished Finish: Removes microscopic burrs and impurities, creating a smooth, non-stick surface that resists fouling and is easy to clean.
- Standard Connection: 3-inch NPT threaded female end fits standard pipe fittings, reducing installation complexity.
- Robust Construction: 1.5mm thick body and deep-drawn design withstands pressure fluctuations and mechanical stress.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for inline filtration in pipelines, pump protection, nozzle protection, and process equipment.
- Customization Available: Mesh size, diameter, length, and connection type can be tailored to your specific requirements.

The 60 mesh specification is particularly effective for removing sand, scale, weld slag, and other particulate contaminants from liquid streams. In water treatment systems, it protects downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and heat exchangers from wear and blockage. The electro-polished finish not only improves aesthetics but also enhances cleanability — a critical factor in food processing and pharmaceutical applications where hygiene standards are stringent. Compared to standard matte or pickled surfaces, electro-polished baskets require less frequent cleaning and reduce the risk of bacterial growth due to the smoother surface profile.
One of the key advantages of using 316L stainless steel is its excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. This makes the strainer basket suitable for seawater, brine, and chemical solutions containing chlorides. The 3 inch NPT connection ensures compatibility with common piping systems in North America and other regions. For applications requiring higher flow rates, larger mesh sizes or multiple baskets can be configured in parallel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the maximum operating temperature of this strainer basket?
The 316L stainless steel strainer basket can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 400°C (752°F) in non-oxidizing environments. For applications involving oxidizing conditions, the maximum temperature is lower (around 870°C/1600°F for intermittent use). Please consult our technical team for specific temperature requirements.
Q2: Can this strainer basket be used for food-grade applications?
Yes. 316L stainless steel is commonly used in food and beverage processing due to its corrosion resistance and non-reactive nature. The electro-polished surface meets hygiene standards and is easy to clean. However, we recommend confirming with local food safety regulations for your specific application.
Q3: Is the 3-inch NPT connection male or female?
The connection is a female NPT thread on the inlet side. The basket is designed to be installed into a pipe system using a male NPT fitting. Please ensure your piping has the correct male thread to match.
Q4: What is the pressure rating of this strainer basket?
The standard design pressure rating is up to 150 PSI (approx. 10 bar) at ambient temperature. For higher pressure applications, we can reinforce the basket with thicker material or add support rings. Please specify your pressure requirement when ordering.
Q5: How do I clean the strainer basket?
The electro-polished surface makes cleaning easier. For most applications, backwashing with clean water or using a soft brush is sufficient. For stubborn deposits, chemical cleaning agents compatible with 316L stainless steel can be used. Avoid abrasive tools that may scratch the surface.
Q6: Can you customize the mesh size or other dimensions?
Absolutely. We offer customization for mesh size (from 20 mesh to 500 mesh), overall length, diameter, connection type (NPT, BSP, flange, or tri-clamp), and thickness. Minimum order quantity may apply for custom specifications. Contact us with your requirements.
Q7: What is the lead time for standard orders?
For standard 60 mesh, 3 inch NPT strainer baskets, our typical lead time is 15-20 working days from order confirmation. Larger quantities or custom items may require 20-30 working days. We also offer expedited production for urgent orders (additional fees may apply).
Q8: Do you provide samples before bulk purchase?
Yes, we can provide samples for evaluation. Sample cost is negotiable, and the sample fee can be deducted from your first bulk order. Shipping charges are typically borne by the buyer. Please contact our sales team to arrange sample shipment.
