Basket Strainer Replacement Basket is used for replacing the perforated or mesh-lined basket inside permanent simplex and duplex basket strainers that protect pumps, heat exchangers and meters on pipelines. ASME B16.5 strainer bodies is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What ASME B16.5 strainer bodies Means for Basket Strainer Replacement Basket
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit ASME B16.5 strainer bodies. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Specifying Basket Strainer Replacement Basket Beyond the Standard
- Body size & make: Basket outside diameter and depth must match the strainer body exactly so nothing bypasses.
- Perforation & liner: 3–4 mm perforation for strength, with a 20–40 mesh liner when finer straining is needed.
- Open area ratio: 300–400 % of the pipe area keeps pressure drop low between cleanings.
When Basket Strainer Replacement Basket Is Not the Right Choice
Not a micron filter — use a cartridge or bag filter downstream when fine filtration is needed.
