Sediment filters
Depending on the size of the mesh cells, it is possible to filter smaller (sludge, rust) or larger (metal impurities, sewage contents) particles. The design may also include a seal, a drain hole with a valve, a magnet for better cleaning. UKSPAR sediment filters (coarse filters) are available in sleeve and flange versions, with diameters from 1/2" to 4" (DN 15–100 mm), pressure class — PN16.
Among the coarse water filters, there is a separate type - mud filters. These are steel products (usually cylindrical in shape), in which a mesh with cells of various sizes is installed. Mud filters are mesh, magnetic and gravitational, but they all perform one task - they clean the working stream from mechanical and organic particles of large diameter.
Features of sediment filters
Coarse cleaning filters are mounted on the main line using threads or flanges. They can work in three modes:
- filter the working environment and send it in a purified form to the required branch;
- wash the stream moving in the reverse direction, which then goes to the sewer;
- wash the stream moving through the filter media from top to bottom.
A coarse water filter improves the quality of the working environment and also protects the equipment from damage due to contamination, scale or rust. Its use on sensitive equipment such as water meters or shut-off valves is especially important. However, the scope of application of sediment filters is not limited. Due to their resistance to corrosion and mechanical action, coarse filters are used on gas pipelines, oil pipelines, steam pipelines, water pipelines and other pipeline systems - provided that they comply with the operating parameters of a particular model.
The size of the filter mesh cell affects the degree of mechanical cleaning: the smaller the cell size, the smaller particles the filter can retain. The specific cell size depends on the model and technical characteristics of the product. During installation, it is important to observe the direction of flow of the working medium, indicated by the arrow on the filter housing.
Several advantages of coarse water filters can be distinguished:
- retain mechanical impurities whose size exceeds the size of the filter mesh;
- easily mounted and dismantled if necessary;
- do not require complex maintenance;
- inexpensive;
- resistant to external and internal factors (pressure drops, hydraulic shocks);
- capable of serving for years with little or no need for repairs.
How can a mechanical filter be classified?
By type of connection, a coarse water filter can be flanged or threaded. Flanged products are mounted through a flange on the pipeline system, threaded ones - through an internal thread.
Sleeve (threaded) sediment filters are used on DN 15–50 pipelines, and flange models are used on pipelines of larger diameter.
According to the material of the body, the following filters for coarse water purification are found:
- Brass An inexpensive option with a limited temperature regime and pressure level. Suitable for cold water pipes and gas pipes.
- cast iron Wear-resistant products with anti-corrosion properties. Because of their heavy weight, they are more often used on industrial pipeline networks.
- Steel Reasonable price-quality ratio. Steel pipe water filters have a wide range of applications, from housing to factories and factories, which are inexpensive, but rarely last more than 25 years due to rust.
- Made of stainless steel. The most durable, impact-resistant and reliable products that are not subject to corrosion, the influence of acids, alkalis. Suitable for installation on highways with an aggressive working environment.
Another option for classifying mechanical filters is by working medium. The fittings are characterized by a variety of applications, but are most often installed on pipelines with the following filling:
- water;
- air;
- gas;
- petroleum products;
- steam;
- food environments;
- natural gas;
- propane-butane;
- mildly aggressive environments;
- and other.
