At Industrial Parts and Components, our Cone Strainers (often referred to as Witch’s Hat strainers) are engineered as a cost-effective solution for the protection of downstream equipment during system start-up and commissioning. Designed to be sandwiched between piping flanges, these strainers capture "construction debris" such as welding beads, slag, and tools that may have been left inside the piping. Their high-velocity design and rugged construction make them a vital temporary or permanent safeguard in high-pressure environments.

Key Features

• High-Area Conical Geometry:The elongated cone shape provides a larger surface area than the pipe's cross-section, allowing for high flow rates with minimal initial pressure drop
• Rugged Support Construction:Available in single-thickness mesh or reinforced with heavy-gauge perforated plate to prevent the cone from collapsing under high differential pressures
• Easy Installation & Removal:Features a precision-cut ring handle or flange tab that fits standard ANSI/DIN pipe flanges, allowing the strainer to be easily inserted or removed without modifying existing pipework
