Monel 400 Y Strainers

At Falcon, we provide elite filtration solutions for the world’s most aggressive chemical and marine environments. Our Monel 400 Y-Strainers are the industry standard for resisting high-velocity seawater and concentrated acids where standard stainless steel fails within hours.

Monel 400 is a high-performance Nickel-Copper alloy known for its "toughness." It doesn't just resist corrosion; it maintains structural integrity under extreme mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations.

• Acid Immunity: Exceptional resistance to Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) and Sulfuric Acid in reducing conditions.

• Marine Performance: Superior resistance to pitting and stress-corrosion cracking in rapidly flowing brackish or sea water.

• Temperature Range: Remains ductile and strong from cryogenic temperatures up to 480°C (900°F).

• Bio-Fouling Resistance: Naturally inhibits the growth of marine organisms (barnacles/algae), keeping strainer screens cleaner for longer.

Specifically engineered for high-pressure, high-integrity piping systems.

• Superior Strength: The forging process eliminates internal porosity, providing a 20-30% increase in yield strength over cast bodies.

• Zero-Leak Guarantee: Essential for lethal gas or high-pressure acid lines (Class 800 to 2500).

• Refined Grain: Best for systems subject to high-frequency vibration or thermal shock.

The preferred choice for larger pipelines and standard industrial applications.

• Economical for Large Bore: Available in sizes from 2" up to 24" with complex Y-geometries.

• Uniform Protection: Cast Monel 400 (M35-1) offers the same chemical resistance as forged material but at a lower cost for low-to-medium pressure systems.

To ensure full compatibility with your project specs, Falcon utilizes the following standard designations:

Falcon follows the most stringent global engineering codes to ensure your Monel strainers are safe and reliable:

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

• Pressure Ratings: Class 150, 300, 600, 800, 1500, and 2500.

• End Connections: Flanged (RF/RTJ per ASME B16.5), Socket Weld (ASME B16.11), or Threaded (NPT).

• Testing: 100% Hydrostatic and Pneumatic testing per API 598.

• Dimensions: Face-to-Face dimensions per ASME B16.10.

• HF Alkylation Units: Protecting critical valves and pumps in oil refinery alkylation sections.

• Marine & Naval: Seawater intake filters, propeller shaft cooling, and fire-main systems.

• Salt Production: Handling concentrated brines and salt crystallizers.

• Chemical Processing: Handling chlorinated hydrocarbons and non-oxidizing mineral acids.

• Power Gen: High-pressure boiler feedwater heaters and steam generators.

Monel 400 is a specialty alloy with traditionally long lead times. At Falcon, we mitigate this risk:

• In-Stock Billets: We maintain raw Monel 400 stock for immediate forging.

• Rapid Dispatch: Forged Class 800 units can often be fast-tracked for 48-hour dispatch in emergency shutdown scenarios.

• Full Traceability: Every strainer is shipped with an EN 10204 3.1 MTR (Material Test Report).

Falcon Monel 400 Y-Strainers provide elite protection in hydrofluoric acid and high-velocity seawater. Available in Forged (ASTM B564) and Cast (A494 M35-1) grades, our strainers offer zero-porosity and extreme durability for Class 150-2500 systems. Reliable, acid-proof, and built to last.
