5.8 Suction strainer
When pumping polluted liquid or liquid that may contain solid particles, install a suction strainer in the
suction opening.
When selecting the suction strainer, carefully consider the mesh width so pipe losses are kept to a
minimum. The net opening area of the suction strainer must be at least three times the cross-
sectional area of the suction pipe.
In the case of polluted liquids, always install a suction strainer with a sufficiently large net opening
area. The filtration particle size of the suction strainer must be equal to or less than the solids
handling specification of the pump.
Install the suction strainer such that maintenance and cleaning are possible.
Make sure the liquid being drawn in has the expected viscosity and can easily flow through the
suction strainer. Heat the suction strainer if necessary.
Consult the technical specifications for the BA series for the maximum allowable particle size (solids
handling capacity).
