Oil Strainers - Engine Room Consumables and Spares
Oil strainers are coarse filtration devices used in marine engine-room systems to remove solid contaminants from lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, fuel oil, or other process fluids. They protect pumps, engines, valves, coolers, and separators from blockage and abrasive damage.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Oil Strainers for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable requirements depend on design and service. Piping flanges may follow ASME B16.5 or EN 1092-1. Filtration performance may be specified using ISO 16889 where applicable. Manufacturer material and pressure tests should comply with the approved equipment documentation. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Classification approval is product- and vessel-specific. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and ClassNK may accept or approve strainers when required by the system, vessel notation, or approved piping documentation. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install in the flow direction marked on the housing, with adequate clearance for basket removal and cleaning. Fit isolation valves and, for duplex units, a changeover arrangement. Verify pressure rating, gasket material, flange dimensions, and cleanliness before commissioning. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Monitor differential pressure or flow reduction and clean the basket before excessive pressure loss occurs. Inspect the screen, housing, gasket, drain, and vent for damage or leakage. Replace damaged screens and seals with approved spare parts. |
| Safety Notes | Isolate, depressurize, drain, and cool the system before opening the strainer. Use suitable PPE and follow the vessel's permit-to-work procedures. Treat oil as a potential fire and environmental hazard and contain all drained fluid. |
