Basket Strainers - Pumps, Valves, Piping and Fittings
Basket strainers are removable-screen filtration devices installed in marine pump suction lines, seawater cooling systems, ballast systems, fire-main lines and piping services. They protect pumps, valves, heat exchangers and instrumentation from debris while allowing periodic basket cleaning.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Basket 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 may include ASME B16.5 or EN 1092-1 flange dimensions, ASME B16.34 where valve-related requirements apply, ASTM material standards, and pressure testing to the manufacturer's approved procedure. The purchase specification should define pressure, temperature, material and test requirements. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Marine class acceptance is project- and service-dependent. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas and ClassNK may accept strainers when included in an approved piping system or supported by required material, pressure and testing documentation. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install with the flow arrow in the correct direction and provide adequate clearance for basket removal. Support connected piping independently, verify flange alignment, fit the specified gasket, and install isolation and drain arrangements where required. Duplex units must be commissioned with the changeover mechanism correctly set. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Monitor differential pressure or pump performance and clean the basket before excessive pressure loss occurs. Inspect the basket, body, gasket and drain for blockage, corrosion or damage. Replace distorted baskets and sealing elements, and confirm tightness after reassembly. |
| Safety Notes | Isolate, depressurize, drain and cool the line before opening the strainer cover. For seawater or hazardous services, use appropriate PPE and prevent uncontrolled discharge. Never remove a basket from a pressurized or hot system, and restore all covers and fasteners before operation. |
