Inconel 825 Basket Strainers

Falcon’s Inconel 825 Basket Strainers are designed for industries where standard stainless steel fails. Combining the superior corrosion resistance of a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with Falcon’s precision engineering, these strainers provide robust protection for pumps, valves, and heat exchangers in the most aggressive chemical and thermal environments.

Our strainers are engineered to meet stringent international standards (ASME B16.34 / Section VIII).

• Optimal Flow Dynamics: Designed for low-pressure drops and high dirt-holding capacity.

• Material Integrity: Inconel 825 offers exceptional resistance to both oxidizing and reducing acids, as well as chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking.

• Ergonomics: Quick-opening covers for ease of maintenance and basket cleaning.

At Falcon, quality is built-in, not added on.

• Advanced CNC Machining: Ensures tight tolerances and perfect seal integrity.

• Specialized Welding: Utilizes TIG/MIG processes specifically calibrated for high-nickel alloys to prevent weld-decay and maintain structural strength.

• Customization: Available in a wide range of mesh sizes, from coarse perforated plate to ultra-fine micron lining.

Every unit undergoes a comprehensive validation protocol before leaving our facility:

• Hydrostatic Testing: Conducted at 1.5x the design pressure.

• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Including Radiography, Dye Penetrant (DP), and Positive Material Identification (PMI) to verify alloy purity.

• Pneumatic Testing: For gas-service applications to ensure zero-leakage performance.

Falcon’s Inconel 825 Basket Strainers are defined by high-performance metallurgy and precision geometry. We maintain full control over the production cycle to ensure every unit meets the "Falcon Standard."

We offer a comprehensive selection of configurations to fit diverse piping architectures:

Falcon’s manufacturing process is built on a "Zero-Defect" philosophy. Every Inconel 825 strainer is tracked via a unique heat number for 100% traceability.

• Material Verification: Positive Material Identification (PMI) is performed on every casting and forged component to ensure nickel (38-46%) and chromium (19.5-23.5%) levels meet ASTM B366/B705 standards.

• Welding Excellence: All welding procedures are qualified to ASME Section IX. We utilize specialized heat-input controls to prevent the precipitation of chromium carbides.

• Surface Finish: Standard pickling and passivation; optional electro-polishing for high-purity chemical applications.

Each strainer is subjected to a rigorous battery of tests to validate structural integrity and sealing:

• Shell Test: Hydrostatic pressure test at 1.5 times the maximum working pressure.

• Seat/Seal Test: Pneumatic air test to ensure zero-leakage at the cover gasket and drain plugs.

• Dimensional Accuracy: Full inspection against ASME B16.5 (for flanges) and ASME B16.10 (for face-to-face dimensions).

• Visual Inspection: Conducted per MSS-SP-55 to ensure flawless surface quality.

Falcon provides more than just hardware; we provide application-specific solutions.

Flow Calculation: We provide $C_v$ values and pressure drop curves for every mesh size.
