Yarway

Wye-Type Pipeline Strainers

Suitable for use in a variety of fluid systems.

General Description
Yarway Pipeline Wye Strainers are in
thousands of applications in chemical,
petroleum, pulp and paper, and utilities,
as well as numerous commercial and
institutional locations.
These strainers have been designed
following time tested principles to
conform to applicable codes and
standards such as Power Piping ANSI
B31.1. They have successfully passed
stringent shock and vibration tests.
Body materials and end connections
conform to recognized standards.
Screens are stainless steel or Monel®.
Spark-plug-like, clad, non-asbestos
gaskets are used to provide reliable
sealing with minimal loading. Screens
are guided, not crushed, into bodies,
caps and covers for confident
particle retention.

Applications
The Yarway Pipeline Wye Strainers
are suitable for use in a variety of
fluid systems such as air, chemical,
condensate, gas, oil, petroleum or
water lines, for the protection of valves,
pumps, compressors, condensers,
flow meters, nozzles, steam traps
and other vulnerable equipment.

Wye-Type Pipeline Strainers

Features and Benefits Installation

• Body material – ASTM and/or ASME
as permitted under Boiler Code
and Power Piping Code. Provides
assurance of quality and suitability
for pressure/temperature adjustment
in non-shock service.
• Straight threads on cap – for easy
removal when screen replacement
is necessary.
• Clad, non asbestos, spark-plug-type
gasket provides reliable seal on
machined body and cap.
• Guided screen – screens fit into
controlled machined bores in body
and cap, and are not crushed. This
fit provides good screen alignment
and reliable capture of particles.
• Installation – can be installed in
vertical and horizontal piping with the
blowdown connection oriented in any
preferred direction.
• Design – meets ANSI B31.1.
Conforms to recognized codes and
standards for assurance of quality.
Strainers should be installed upstream
of pipeline equipment to protect against
damage from solid particles of dirt,
chips, scale, packing shreds, pipe
sealants and welding debris.
The strainer should be fitted with a
pipe nipple in the cap or cover and
a full ported straight through valve
(e.g., gate or ball).
Install the strainer in a horizontal or
vertical line with flow in the direction
of the arrow.
For freeze protection, install the
strainer on its side or upside down in
a horizontal line or vertically to assist
in draining the blowdown line and
strainer cavity.
Inspect the strainer regularly. Clean
the screen before it becomes more
than one-third clogged. Pressure
gages before and after the strainer
will indicate excessive pressure losses
due to clogging.

How to Select
There are three important components
in selection:
1. Design and operating pressures and
temperatures – look at the curves in
Figure 2. Select the strainer rating
that meets both the design and the
operating requirements.
2. Flow rate and pressure drop – select
a strainer pipe size that will yield a
pressure drop of 11/2 psi or less.
This will accommodate increases in
pressure drop due to dirt or alternate
screens without causing the screen
to rupture.
3. Look at the selection table on page 4
and pick the strainer series that
meets the conditions of 1 and 2
above, and is compatible with the
flowing medium.

• There is no significant change

• Flow is fully turbulent and viscosity
is not a significant factor in the
calculations for pressure drop.
3. For steam, gas and air flows,
pressure drops are not critical, and a
change in density (if it occurs) is not
significant.
The examples of pressure drop
calculations are based on new, clean
strainers. If clogged screens are a
significant concern, follow the footnote
under Figure 1.
Determine the strainer Cv
The first thing to determine is the
strainer Cv. This can be obtained from
Figure 1 the water flow vs pressure drop
curve where Cv = gpm when the
pressure drop is one (1) psi.
Example:
What is the Cv for a 3" M800 Yarway
Wye strainer?
Solution:
1. Enter the left, vertical axis at one
(1.0) psi.
2. Move horizontally to the right until
you reach the 3" M800 curve.
3. Then, move vertically down and
read 150 gpm.
4. Answer - The Cv for a 3" M800 is
150.
This solution is for water; specific gravity
is approximately one.
DPI = Liquid/pressure drop, psi
VI = Liquid flow, gpm = 150
(previous example)
Cv = Strainer Cv = 150 (previous
example)
GI = Specific gravity of liquid. For
kerosene GI = 0.82
Liquid flow, viscosity
consideration
With the turbulent flow, the pressure
drop equations are independent of
Reynolds Number. When viscous fluids
are present, Reynolds Numbers can be
changed to the point where Laminar
flow is achieved. The use of Equation 2
and 3 determines if the flow is turbulent.
If it is turbulent, Equation 4 can be used.
If Reynolds Number is less than 4000,
Equation 4 will predict a greater than
expected pressure drop.
Equation 2:
Re = 3160 VI
vd
Re = Reynolds No.
VI = GPM
v = Kinematic viscosity, centistokes
Assume the same 3" strainer flowing
kerosene. The specific gravity is 0.82,
but the kinematic viscosity is 2.69. Pipe
I.D. is 3.068 inches. Using Equation 4:
(2.69 x 3.068)2
DPv = (1.6023)(0.82)
150
= 0.597 psi minimum for a
Reynolds Number of 4000
to maintain turbulent flow.
This means that if the pressure drop and
Reynolds Number are too low, Laminar
flow may result and the influence of
viscosity can alter the results. The
approximate Reynolds Number for
150 gpm flow in the example is:
(3160) (150)
Re =
(2.69) (3.068)
is over 57, 400 from equation
(2) and the DPv approaches
0.82 from equation (3).

Gas and Vapor Flow Steam (Saturated or Superheat)

The flow of gases and vapors is more complicated than liquid
flow. This is due to changes in density. If pressure drops are Equation 5:
too great, the nature of the gas or vapor changes.
(P1) 2 - (W) (1 + 0.0007 Ts )
2
These equations are assumed to apply: DPs = P1 -
(2.1) (Cv)
In the above, it is assumed that the control valve formulas
for non-critical steam and gas flow are applicable.
DPs = Pressure drop across strainer, steam psi Gases (Including Air)
DPg = Pressure drop across strainer, gas, air, etc.
Equation 6:
P1 = Strainer inlet pressure, psia
W = lb/hr steam flow (Q) 2
DPg = P1 - (P1)2 - (G) (T)
Q = SCFH gas flow (963) (Cv)
Ts = Degrees F superheat above saturation
T = Degrees R gas temperature (F + 460)
G = Specific gravity, gas (air = 1)

Saturated Steam Flow

Let’s assume we have a 2" steam line. Steam flow is 2000 lb/hr From Equation 5:
and the steam pressure is 100 psig, saturated. What is the
pressure drop through the 2" Yarway 921 Wye Strainer?
(115)2 - (2000) (1 + 0)
2
DPs = (115) -
From Figure 1 we see that the 2" 921 has a Cv equal to 55. (2.1) (55)
P1 = 100 psig = 115 psia
W = 2000 lb/h = 1.31 psi drop

Cv = 55
Ts = 0, because the steam is saturated The steam pressure drop is calculated to be
1 to 11/2 psi.

Superheated Steam
Assume the same strainer and conditions as for saturated steam,
(115)2 - (2000) (1 + 0.0007 x 162)
2
except the steam temperature is 500°F. DPs = (115) -
We use the same equation except (2.1) (55)

Ts = 500-338
Ts = 162°F, degrees superheat DPs = 1.63 psi

500 = Steam temp, F

338 = Sat. temp, F for 100 psi The superheated steam will produce a pressure drop
nearly 1/4 more than the saturated condition.

Gases
If we keep the same strainer, but now consider natural gas flow at
50,000 SCFH and at a temperature of 100°F.
Cv = 55 DPg = (115) - (115)2 - (0.667) (560) 50,000 2

P1 = 115 psia (963) (55)

G = 0.667 = 1.46 psi
T = 460 + 100 = 560R Pressure drop is approximately 11/2 psi.
Q = 50,000

cleaned, and assure proper alignment of the screen when re-assembled. Machined

On 21/2" and 3" strainers, four bolt covers are used instead of threaded screen caps.

Screens
Two types of screens for a range of process conditions: Perforated stainless steel or
Monel® in a wide range of opening sizes with high open area ratios for low pressure
drops. Fine mesh stainless steel Dutchweave screens also available. Both types
provide greater mechanical strength than ordinary square mesh. Machined recesses
in the body and cap assure the proper fit of the screen and its alignment in the body.

Perforated screen - easy to clean, less Dutchweave screen for applications

susceptible to clogging. requiring retention of small particles.
