There are several types of basket strainers available, each designed for specific applications and operating conditions. Simplex basket strainers, for example, are ideal for applications where a temporary shutdown for cleaning is acceptable, while duplex basket strainers feature two baskets that can be switched out without interrupting the flow of the fluid. In high-pressure or high-temperature applications, Y-type basket strainers are often used due to their reinforced design and stronger construction.
