Temporary filter is used to remove impurities in the medium in a pipeline, and belongs to the coarse pipeline filtration series.
Temporary strainers are of a simple form and generally come in three types.
1. Conical Temporary Strainers(Witches hat strainers)
The tip of the conical temporary filter can be installed downstream or upstream.
2. Basket Temporary Strainers
A basket temporary strainer faces downstream and particles start to collect in the flat part.
3. Temporary plate strainers
A temporary plate filter is essentially a perforated plate sandwiched between two pipes.

Principle of temporarystrainers
After the fluid enters the filter cartridge, its impurities are blocked, and the clean fluid flows out of the outlet. When cleaning is necessary, simply remove the temporary strainer and reinstall it after cleaning.

How do you install a temporary strainer?
Countercurrent installation.
There are many types of temporary strainers. Most of them are installed countercurrently. Because when there are large impurities, the downstream installation is easy to cause blockage and reduces the flow area.
It is also related to the position where the filter is placed so that the filter is directly facing the direction of the airflow.
