Inconel 625 Y Strainers

At Falcon, we engineer filtration solutions for the most punishing industrial environments on Earth. Our Inconel 625 Y-Strainers represent the pinnacle of nickel-alloy technology, providing a rare combination of high fatigue strength, exceptional fabricability, and superior corrosion resistance from cryogenic temperatures up to 982°C (1800°F).

Inconel 625 is a Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy with a specific addition of Niobium. This chemistry provides:

• Ultimate Pitting Resistance: An exceptionally high Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) makes it nearly immune to chloride-ion pitting and crevice corrosion.

• Extreme Temperature Range: Performs reliably in heat exchangers and exhaust systems where other alloys lose structural integrity or become brittle.

• Superior Fatigue Strength: High resistance to mechanical and thermal-gradient fatigue, making it ideal for systems with fluctuating temperatures.

• Oxidation Resistance: Excellent protection against scaling and oxidation even in the most severe high-heat environments.

The gold standard for high-pressure aerospace, naval, and offshore applications.

• Material Density: The forging process ensures a flawless internal structure, critical for Class 900, 1500, and 2500 systems.

• Cryogenic Toughness: Exceptional impact strength and ductility, even in sub-zero environments.

Optimized for high-volume flow in aggressive chemical environments.

• Grade CW6MC: This specific cast designation is what Falcon utilizes for larger-diameter Y-strainers.

• Precision Geometry: Allows for engineered Y-patterns that maintain high flow rates while protecting downstream equipment from particulates.

Falcon ensures every unit is fully traceable and complies with these global designations:

Falcon’s Inconel 625 strainers are utilized where system failure is not an option:

• Marine & Naval: Specialized seawater piping, submarine components, and high-heat exhaust systems for naval vessels.

• Aerospace & Defense: High-performance fuel and hydraulic line filtration.

• Chemical Processing: Handling highly contaminated oxidizing mineral acids, chlorides, and mixed acids.

• Nuclear Industry: Reactor core and control rod components.

• Oil & Gas Flare Stacks: Protecting sensors and nozzles in high-temperature offshore flare systems.

• Design Code: ASME B16.34 (Valves and Pressure Components).

• Pressure Ratings: ANSI Class 150 through Class 2500.

• Testing: 100% shell and seat pressure testing per API 598.

• End Connections: Flanged (RF/RTJ), Socket Weld (SW), and Buttweld (BW).

Falcon Quality Assurance: Every Inconel 625 Y-Strainer includes a full EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Report (MTR). We ensure that our internal screens—whether perforated or mesh—are manufactured from the same 625 alloy to maintain total chemical and thermal compatibility.

Falcon specializes in Inconel 625 Y-Strainers, the premier choice for high-strength applications from cryogenic temperatures to 982°C. This Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum-Niobium alloy offers ultimate resistance to chloride pitting, fatigue, and oxidation.

We provide Forged (ASTM B564 N06625) bodies for high-pressure Class 1500–2500 aerospace and naval systems, and Cast (ASTM A494 CW6MC) units for extreme chemical processing. These strainers are essential for seawater piping, flare stacks, and nuclear components where thermal stability is critical.
