Wedge Wire Single Basket Strainers - CBS-I

Wedge Wire Single Basket Strainers Concord Screen model CBS-I inline single strainers are recommended for batch operations, where flow may be interrupted to clean the basket or those installations with small amounts of debris where the strainer is used for start-up or emergency protection. Model CBS-I strainers can be supplied in sizes 3” thru 24” with fabricated steel bodies in either 150 or 300 PSIG working pressures. Higher pressure ratings are available. The basic design of the model CBS-I strainers includes a flanged body containing a single top-entry wedgewire basket. The basket can be removed for cleaning.

Strainer Basket A strainer is only as good as its basket. They are the very heart of the unit and this is no place to compromise with quality.

The strainer baskets are manufactured from Concord Screens high tensile, continuous slot wedgewire screen. The baskets offer a very high open area and a very low pressure drop. They are available in a wide variety of materials and slot openings ranging from 0.1mm to 10mm.

Correction Factors Basket slot opening (water) (smaller than 0.032”) Multiply the pressure drop from the chart by the following factors:

0.016" (400 Microns) - 1.2
0.010" (250 Microns) - 1.6
0.008" (200 Microns) - 2.0
0.006" (150 Microns) - 2.4


Viscosity Correction Factors
  1. Multiply the pressure drop for water by the specific gravity of liquid.
  2. Multiply the result by the correction factor for the more viscous liquid.
