Line strainer ABS Type 305 d20-d63

The Georg Fischer ABS Line Strainer Type 305 is an essential protective component engineered to safeguard sensitive downstream equipment—such as process pumps, control valves, flow meters, and instrumentation—from particulate contamination, scale, and mechanical debris. Manufactured from high-grade acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and built according to the EN 558 face-to-face standard, this in-line strainer ensures optimum hydrodynamic flow with low pressure drop while providing dependable filtration across industrial pipework. As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies the Type 305 series across Europe for demanding installations where traditional metal strainers risk internal corrosion, scaling, or chemical fouling.

Maintenance efficiency and plant uptime are central to the design of the Type 305. The strainer features an easily accessible removable body housing, enabling operators to dismantle the unit and service or clean the internal screen quickly without cutting the pipeline or disturbing fixed pipe brackets. The filter screens, which are ordered separately according to process filtration requirements, come in two material options tailored to distinct thermal conditions: heavy-duty stainless steel screens operating from -40 degrees C up to +60 degrees C for sub-zero chilled loops, and corrosion-resistant PVC-U screens rated from 0 degrees C to +60 degrees C for clean water and saline processes.

With its robust ABS body, the Type 305 strainer provides outstanding impact strength, high ductility at sub-zero operating temperatures, and excellent resistance to salts, diluted acids, alkalis, and secondary refrigerants like glycol solutions. This makes it ideal for chilled water circuits, industrial refrigeration, process cooling, potable water distribution, water treatment plants, and marine piping systems. Pipe connection is performed via metric solvent cement sockets from d20 mm to d63 mm, ensuring homogeneous, leak-tight joints when installed with certified ABS solvent cement and cleaner.
