One of the most important pieces of equipment in many different industries is the filtration system. Within each filtration system are a number of moving parts, which must all work together to ensure the system operates efficiently. Two parts that rely on each other the most are pumps and strainers. As the pump works, the strainer is in place to capture debris to ensure the pump can continue to function as designed.

Typically, when one refers to a hydraulic pump strainer, they are referring to a mesh strainer that is used as a filter at the pump inlet. The purpose of this strainer is to filter contaminants out of the hydraulic fluid as it approaches the suction side of the pump. These relatively coarse filters (about 140 microns) screw onto the pump intake, which is located inside the hydraulic reservoir.

Like we said above, the main purpose of a strainer is to filter out any solid contaminants from hydraulic fluid. If contaminants are left unfiltered, they can damage components of the pump. When the pump is damaged it can lead to lower system efficiency and a shortened lifespan.

That being said, picking the incorrect strainer for your system can also damage the pump. When selecting a strainer, it’s important to first consult the manufacturer recommendations. You also need to ensure you’ve selected the right sized filter, and one that meets your systems pressure and flow requirements. If your strainer fails to meet those requirements, you could potentially cause irreversible damage to your system.

The positioning of your strainer first and foremost depends on the type of strainer your system requires. The two most common types are pump suction strainers and inline filters. Pump suction strainers are a coarse mesh strainer that is used to collect large participles from entering the pump. They are installed at the suction inlet of the pump. Inline filters, sometimes called return line filters or spin-on filters, are installed in the fluid return line. This filter allows for a finer filtration of particles than the pump suction strainer and results in a highly efficient filtration system. Inline filters are not installed on the suction side of the pump because this can cause pump failure from high differential pressure.

Most pumps are designed to handle some number of solids, and the manufacturer can advise you on what size particles your pump can handle and may even have a suggestion on what filtration type is best for the system. Ultimately, the positioning of your strainer will depend on what type of system you have and how fine of a filtration you require.

While the strainer is an important part of a filtration system, there are instances where strainers are unnecessary. If the hydraulic fluid being placed into the system has already been filtered, it is unnecessary for it to be filtered again within the system. Additionally, some new hydraulic systems do not even require a strainer as the updated design minimizes the chance of debris. Though, if proper maintenance isn’t done on the system you could still experience pump damage.

There’s no other way to argue it: strainers are important to a pump system. It’s the choice of a strainer and the positioning of that strainer that can be up for debate sometimes. If you’re questioning where to place a strainer in your system, or what strainer to use, first consult the manufacturer for their recommendations. If you still have questions after that, consult a qualified suction strainer/filter designer.

Duplex Basket strainers are a type of strainer used in horizontal pipework to filter solids from fluids. They are typically designed to allow 100% flow with little pressure drop, and can be maintained in situ due to their design containing valves allowing one side of the unit to be maintained without process stoppage.

Designs consist of inlet a single inlet and outlet with top accessible covers for each strainer allowing easy access to the inner strainer. The central manifold houses a lever enabling control of fluid flow to each side, and closing of each side for maintenance.

Parker"s HGP Profile delivers over three times the life for suction and discharge seals in multi-plex frac pump applications over traditional HNBR D-rings. Owing to its patent pending geometry and proprietary materials of construction, the HGP Profile can withstand pressure up to 10,000 psi at 3 hertz in abrasive, acidic fracturing fluid.

Discharge Head: This is the vertical distance that you are able to pump liquid. For example, if your pump is rated for a maximum head of 18 feet, this does not mean that you are restricted to 18 feet of pipe. You can use 300 feet, so long as the final discharge point is not higher than 18 feet above the liquid being pumped.

Suction Lift: This is the vertical distance that the pump can be above the liquid source. Typically, atmospheric pressure limits vertical suction lift of pumps to 25 feet at sea level. This does not mean that you are limited to 25 feet of pipe. You could use upwards of 300 feet of suction pipe, so long as the liquid source is not lower than 25 feet below the pump center line.

A pump that lets you down when you need it most causes obvious losses of time and money. Not so obvious, but every bit as costly, are losses you can incur with pumps that operate at less-than-peak efficiency. A pump laboring under the handicap of a suction line air leak, a corroded discharge line or a clogged impeller uses excessive energy, takes longer than necessary to do the job, and subjects parts to undue stress, causing premature failure.

A 6-inch gasoline-driven, self-priming centrifugal pump operating at 25% less than peak efficiency through an eight-hour day uses approximately 8.8 gallons more fuel than a pump operating efficiently. At $2.00 per gallon over a 40-hour week that’s $80.00 per week LOST! And that figure doesn’t include additional service costs!

Gorman-Rupp wants to keep your pump performance efficient. If you already own Gorman-Rupp pumps, you know how easy they are to service, so there is really no reason to let them deliver less than their best.

If you don’t own Gorman-Rupp pumps, you’ll find our 9-point checklist helpful because today every penny of profit counts, and we want your pumps to work as efficiently as possible.

Indications that your pump isn’t operating at peak efficiency may not be dramatic, but they’re easily recognized. Look for these signs of inefficiency:

There is a noticeable difference in pump flow. Has the discharge flow visibly decreased? Is it taking your pump longer to do the same job than it used to? The slow-up might be caused by a collapsed suction hose lining, a leaking gasket, a plugged suction line, or a damaged or worn impeller or wear plate.

Your pump isn’t re-priming as rapidly as it once did. Most commonly, slower re-prime can be attributed to excessive face clearance. If this is not the cause of your slowdown, check the following: Is the seal leaking? Are all hardware at gaskets tight? Is the suction check valve sealing properly? Is the cutwater section of the volute badly worn? Is the recirculating port clogged?

Your pump is making excessive noise. Does it sound like a bunch of marbles rattling in a can? This may be an indication of cavitation and could be caused by a suction lift that’s too high, a suction hose that’s too long or plugged or that has a collapsed lining, a clogged strainer, a combination of any of these, or perhaps a problem on the discharge side of the pump. Failing bearings can also cause excessive noise.

Your pump is clogging frequently. The suction check valve may be clogged, the strainer may be too large or too small, face clearance could be too wide, or the strainer may be stuck in mud, plugging the suction side.

Your pump is overheating. Very likely the flow of liquid into or out of the pump is being restricted. Improper impeller clearance could be slowing re-priming, or the suction strainer may be clogged.

Although this list is not a complete guide to pump inspection and service, it does cover the more common conditions that can impair pump efficiency. Keep in mind that excessive wear could also be the cause of any of the problems in the above paragraphs.

Check for air leaks. Using a vacuum gauge, make sure that the suction line, fittings and pipe plugs are airtight. Most Gorman-Rupp pumps have a tapped hole for easy connection of a vacuum gauge. Use pipe dope to seal gauge threads and pipe plugs. Replace leaky seals and badly worn hoses.

Check the suction hose lining. The rubber lining in a suction hose can pull away from the fabric, causing partial blockage of the line. If the pump develops a high vacuum but low discharge pressure, the hose lining may be blocking suction flow. Replace the hose.

Check the suction strainer. Frequent inspection and cleaning of the suction strainer is particularly important when pumping liquids containing solids. Always use the proper size strainer to prevent the pump from clogging.

Check the impeller vanes, wear plate or wear rings. The removable cover plate on many Gorman-Rupp pumps provides quick, easy inspection of the impeller and wear plate. These components should be inspected every six months or sooner, depending on pump application. They are subject to faster wear when pumping abrasive liquids and slurries. Gorman-Rupp wear plates and wear rings can be replaced without replacing expensive castings.

Check the impeller clearance. Pumping efficiency will be reduced if the clearance between impeller and wear plate or wear rings is beyond the recommended limits. If the clearance is less than recommended, components will wear by rubbing, causing excess work for the engine or motor. Check the impeller clearance against the pump manual specifications and adjust it if necessary.

Check the seal. Many Gorman-Rupp pumps are equipped with a double seal which is lubricated under pressure by a spring-loaded grease cup, or an oil-lubricated seal for long, trouble-free service. Some pumps are equipped with a single seal that is lubricated by the liquid being pumped. Sand or other solids can cause rapid wear of the seal faces. Check and replace the seal if worn. Replace the seal liner or shaft sleeve if they have scratches.

Check the bearings. Worn bearings can cause the shaft to wobble. Eventually the pump will overheat, and sooner or later it will freeze up and stop. Replace bearings at the first sign of wear.

Check the engine or motor. The pump may not be getting the power it needs to operate efficiently. The engine may need a tune-up, or the motor may need service.

Check the operating condition. Check air release devices, valves, check valves and shock control devices for proper operation. Old discharge lines are subject to internal rusting and pitting, which cause friction loss and reduce flow by as much as 15%. Replace badly deteriorated lines.

If your submersible pump is operating at a reduced capacity, it could be caused by a worn impeller, excessive impeller clearance, low or incorrect voltage, or it could be running backward. A discharge head that’s too high, a clogged or kinked hose, or a clogged strainer could also be responsible for reduced flow. Use an amp meter and volt meter to determine if the pump is getting the proper power it needs to operate efficiently. Normal amp readings are provided in the manual accompanying your pump.

If your diaphragm pump isn’t pumping as it should, check the diaphragm, suction and discharge check valve flappers and seats, and replace any worn parts. Check suction hose fittings for leaks, and check the plunger rod for proper adjustment.
