304 SS Wire Mesh Filter Strainer, 100 Mesh, 1 Inch NPT, 150 PSI, for Oil and Gas Pipeline
Product Spotlights
Established in 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been a trusted manufacturer of high-quality wire mesh filtration solutions. Our 304 SS Wire Mesh Filter Strainer, 100 Mesh, 1 Inch NPT, 150 PSI is specially engineered for demanding oil and gas pipeline applications. With over two decades of expertise and annual export value exceeding US$5 million, we deliver reliable, durable strainers that protect downstream equipment from debris and contaminants. This product combines precision stainless steel mesh with robust NPT threading, offering a cost-effective solution for flow control and filtration in harsh environments.
Our strainer is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of oil and gas pipelines, where consistent performance and safety are paramount. The 100-mesh (approximately 150 micron) stainless steel woven wire cloth effectively captures particles while maintaining low pressure drop. The 1-inch NPT male connection ensures easy installation into existing piping systems, and the 150 PSI pressure rating provides ample safety margin for typical pipeline operations. Below we detail the key features and specifications.

- High durability: 304 stainless steel resists corrosion from oil, gas, and many chemicals, extending service life even in outdoor or offshore environments.
- Easy installation: Standard 1″ NPT male threads mate with common pipe fittings; no special tools required.
- Versatile use: Suitable for crude oil, natural gas, diesel, lubricating oil, water, and other non-aggressive fluids within pressure and temperature limits.
- Customizable options: Mesh size, connection type (NPT, BSP, flanged), pressure rating, and body material can be tailored to your specific requirements.
Our strainer is manufactured using precision weaving techniques and strict quality control. Each unit undergoes a pressure test to ensure leak-free performance at 150 PSI. The 100-mesh screen provides a balanced trade-off between filtration fineness and flow capacity, making it ideal for oil and gas pipelines where both particle removal and minimal pressure drop are critical. Customers often report improved equipment reliability and reduced downtime after installing our strainers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the micron rating of 100 mesh?
A: 100 mesh typically corresponds to an opening of approximately 150 microns (0.15 mm). It effectively captures particles larger than that size. -
Q: Can this strainer be used for natural gas pipelines?
A: Yes, the 304 stainless steel construction and 150 PSI rating make it suitable for natural gas, provided the gas is clean and non-corrosive. For sour gas (H2S), consider higher-grade stainless steel (e.g., 316) upon request. -
Q: Is the NPT thread tapered or straight?
A: NPT (National Pipe Thread) is a tapered thread standard. Our strainer uses male NPT threads that seal with female NPT fittings using thread sealant or PTFE tape. -
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: For continuous use, the recommended temperature range is -20°C to 200°C (-4°F to 392°F). For higher temperatures, please consult our technical team for custom solutions. -
Q: Can I get a different mesh size?
A: Absolutely. We offer mesh sizes from 20 to 400 mesh (or custom). Please specify your filtration requirement when ordering. -
Q: How often should I clean the strainer?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on the fluid quality and flow rate. Typically, inspect the strainer every 1-3 months. The Y-type design allows easy removal of the screen without disconnecting the pipeline. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we offer sample orders. Please contact our sales team with your shipping details. Sample cost is negotiable and can be refunded for bulk orders. -
Q: What is the lead time for bulk orders?
A: For standard sizes (1 inch NPT, 100 mesh), lead time is 7-15 days after confirmation. Custom orders may require 15-30 days depending on complexity.
