Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the micron rating of a 100 mesh strainer?
A: 100 mesh typically corresponds to an opening size of approximately 150 microns (0.15 mm). It effectively captures particles larger than this size. -
Q: Can this strainer be used with ammonia refrigeration systems?
A: 304 stainless steel is generally resistant to ammonia, but we recommend consulting our technical team for specific compatibility and potential stress corrosion cracking risks. -
Q: Is the strainer cleanable or replaceable?
A: Yes, the strainer element can be removed, cleaned (e.g., with compressed air or solvent), and reinstalled. Alternatively, it can be replaced as a complete unit. -
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: The strainer is designed for temperatures from -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to 248°F). For higher temperatures, please inquire about alternative materials. -
Q: Do you offer other thread types like BSP or SAE?
A: Yes, we can supply strainers with 1/2" BSP, 5/8" SAE, or other custom thread configurations. Please specify your requirement when ordering. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, we typically require an MOQ of 100 pieces. For custom orders, MOQ may vary depending on specifications. -
Q: How do you ensure product quality?
A: Each batch undergoes dimensional inspection, pressure testing (up to 500 PSI), and mesh verification. We also perform random sampling during production. -
Q: Can you provide a sample before bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We offer samples at a nominal cost (shipping included). Sample lead time is usually 3-5 working days.
