A manufacturer-published reference compiles definitions and engineering notes for basket, duplex, simplex, Y-type, T-type, and magnetic strainers in one A-to-Z list. [S1]
Specifying engineers can use this single glossary to align terminology with procurement and maintenance teams before a basket strainer is selected, reducing the risk of misreading micron rating, differential pressure, or open-area claims. The engineering notes call out body material options, flow rate ranges, valve arrangements, and welding standards, which are directly useful for datasheet checks during vendor evaluation. The reference also frames strainer selection as a function of debris load, screen open area, and operating pressure, giving a basis for documenting sizing assumptions in a project specification. [S1]
What was published
A supplier reference titled Industrial Strainers Technical Glossary was released by Praimo Industrial Filters & Spares Manufacturing Company as an A to Z terminology guide for industrial strainers and pipeline filtration systems. The glossary groups terms around basket strainers, duplex strainers, simplex strainers, Y-type strainers, T-type strainers, magnetic strainers, and self-cleaning strainers, and frames the work as a cross-team reference for engineering, operations, purchasing, and maintenance staff. [S1]
Numbers, names, and standards cited
The body gives explicit figures and names in its per-term engineering notes. Praimo basket strainers are listed in SS304, SS316L and carbon-steel epoxy-coated bodies for flow rates up to 300 m³/hr. Praimo duplex strainers are described as using butterfly or ball change-over valves for uninterrupted 24 × 7 operation. Praimo T-type strainers are stated to be welded to ASME standards with custom nozzle orientations. The perforated basket entry names a hole size range of 1-5 mm for coarse particle capture. The page header timestamp is 2026-02-17T05:38:17+00:00. [S1]
What it means for the basket strainer category
The page treats strainer selection as driven by debris load, screen open area, and operating pressure, with downstream consequences for cleaning frequency and equipment protection. For the basket strainer category specifically, the reference lists three body material options and a 300 m³/hr upper flow rate as the manufacturer’s published envelope, which sets a baseline for datasheet comparison. Adjacent categories are positioned by use case: simplex for intermittent or low-duty service, Y-type for tight piping spaces, T-type for high-flow low-pressure-loss service, and magnetic for ferrous capture in hydraulic and machining lines.

How to check the primary source
Open the source URL and expand the A to Z term list to read the full engineering notes and any definitions that the supplied body extract cut off, since the published extract ends mid-sentence at the perforated basket entry and includes a Glossary Not Found marker. Confirm the SS304, SS316L, carbon-steel epoxy-coated body options, the 300 m³/hr flow rate, the ASME welding claim for T-type units, and the 1-5 mm perforated basket hole size against the live page before quoting them in a project specification.
