Y Strainer | Injection System Debris Filter
Forum Energy Technologies (FET)
The FET Y Strainer is engineered to protect injection systems from debris that can damage flow meters, choke valves, and downstream instrumentation. Installed upstream of critical components, it captures solids within a high-strength stainless steel screen while maintaining continuous flow through the system.
Designed for high-pressure waterflood and CO₂ injection service, the strainer features a blow-down port for rapid debris removal without disassembly. An O-ring sealed cap ensures threads remain non-wetted, preventing corrosion and simplifying maintenance in harsh environments.
Built for durability and serviceability, the Y Strainer reduces equipment wear, minimizes downtime, and improves overall system reliability in injection operations.
Typical Applications:
Waterflood injection, upstream filtration, flow meter protection, production systems

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
Why the FET Y Strainer Performs Where It Counts
PROTECTION OF DOWNSTREAM INSTRUMENTATION
Captures debris before it reaches sensitive equipment such as flow meters and valves, preventing damage and maintaining system accuracy.
CONTINUOUS OPERATION WITH EASY CLEANOUT
Blow-down port allows debris removal without shutting down the system, improving uptime and operational efficiency.
HIGH FLOW WITH MINIMAL RESTRICTION
Optimized screen design provides effective filtration while maintaining adequate open area for flow.
DURABLE PERFORMANCE IN INJECTION SERVICE
Material options support corrosive environments such as waterflood and CO₂ systems, extending service life.
