Notes:- Ask the vendor for following data.

a. Drawing of Strianer
b. Drawing of Strainer element
c. Wire dia of mesh
d. Hole dia of screen
e. Pitch of holes in the screen

P = ([1-2]/2) x (V2/2gc) x (N/C2)

P = Pressure drop calculated across Strainer 8.3819183998

= mesh x screen 0.8869030997
= % of open area 0.8869030997
V = flow velocity 295.4462518
= Volume flow rate / AG x x fc 144916.38652
N = No. of screens (Normally taken as N=1) 1
C = Flow co-ef taken from Perry handbook of chem engg Ch.5 1.2
The grpah is plotted for C Vs NRE
VFR = Volume flow rate 3750000.3
NRE = Reynold's number 172.59353379
= D / 172.59353379
 D = Opening diameter 0.0457
= Flow velocity 295.4462518
= Density 0.0023371
= Visocsity 0.00018283

We take C=1 as a conservative case

AG = Geometrical area of the element 12692.665
fc = 0.5 or 50% clogged condition 0.5
gc = Acceleration due to gravity 981

Notes:-
1 Mesh number is no. of opening per liner inch
2 More the mesh number finer is the mesh
3 40 mesh number is most commonly used
i.e 402= 1600 holes will be there in 1 sq. inch
4 = how much open area is available including dia & length
5 IF 30% is available them 0.3 x Actual area = Open area
6 Area available after clogging = AG x x fc
7 More is the velocity more will be the pressure drop
8 Calc. pre drop should be less than Max. All. Pre drop
9 For large bore appl Select "T" type or Basket type strainer
n

10 For small bore application select "Y" type strainer

11 Use of "T" type strainer can reduce 1 elbow
12 For manipulation adjust "L" of strainer min. 60 upto 200 mm

Calculation of -mesh

W = 22.4 / Mesh. No. 0.56

Mesh. No. = 40
dw = diamter of wire 0.0457
-mesh = (W-dw)2/W2 1.6399872449

Calculation of -screen

dh = Diameter of holes 0.8

P = Pitch 0.65
-screen = [(1/6) x 3 x (dh2/4)] /( P2x 3/4) 1.3735934982

Pressure drop and sizing calculation procedu

1 Check weather vendor has provided dw, dh, P, sketch of strainer element and strainer
2 Calculate
3 Calculate AG
4 Calculate V
5 Calculate P
6 If Pcalculated is < Pgiven then the designed strainer is acceptable or else increase the elem
7 For increased element area calculate from 2 to 6. If acceptable check P for annular space

P = V2/2g 44.48954522
V = Flowrate / Annular Area 295.44625183
