# Filter baskets and strainer inserts, made to your filtration duty
## The challenge
A filter basket is the first line of defence: it catches the large particles before they reach pumps, valves and other sensitive equipment downstream. If the basket blinds, breaks, or does not seat properly, the debris it was meant to stop goes straight through — or the line stops while the basket is cleaned.
A basket combines a filtering surface with a body and an installation connection. For a replacement, the opening, seating area and removal arrangement matter alongside the basket dimensions.
## Our approach
We supply custom filter baskets and strainer inserts from Anping, China. Each basket is made to order: the basket form, filtering and support layers, rim or flange, handle, bottom construction and installation interface are matched to the housing it sits in and the fluid it filters.
Two layers, discussed separately:
- Filtering layer — the mesh that sets the filtration level.
- Supporting body — the perforated body that carries the mesh, gives the basket its shape, and does the coarse filtering as well.
Material follows the service conditions: 304 stainless steel for hydraulic, fuel and oil systems; 316 stainless steel for marine and salt-water service, where chloride resistance matters; carbon steel and other grades where the application calls for them. The final basket construction is reviewed against the individual application and available reference before quotation.
## Typical range
Final specification is confirmed per order / drawing. The ranges below are industry-common values from public supplier pages — they show what to discuss, not what we promise off the shelf.
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Basket diameter | 100–800 mm |
| Basket length | 250–1200 mm |
| Sintered baskets | Length 35–1500 mm; diameter 15–120 mm; accuracy 2–200 µm |
| Public tender examples (HPCL) | Ø325×940 mm, 325 mesh, hole 0.05 mm; Ø617×800 mm, 635 mesh, hole 0.02 mm |
| T-type baskets | 20–100 mesh |
| GL-type baskets | DN25–600, with a full size table |
| Materials to discuss | 304 / 316 / 316L stainless steel, carbon steel — by service conditions |

## What this helps with
- **Protection downstream** — the basket catches debris before it reaches pumps and valves, so the equipment it protects keeps running.
- **Cleanable and reusable** — an all-metal basket can be washed and put back into service instead of thrown away.
- **Large dirt-holding capacity** — the right basket size and mesh hold more contaminant between cleanings, so cleaning happens on plan.
No flow or pressure-drop figures are promised here: the result depends on the fluid, the contaminant load and the housing. The ranges in §3 and the questions in §6 are how we get to a basket that fits your duty.
## Typical applications
- **Food and beverage processing** — bag filtration and raw-material filtration; 316 / 316L options discussed for salt and acid service.
- **Water treatment** — pump protection and pre-filtration ahead of finer filters.
- **Chemical and pharmaceutical** — 316L baskets for corrosive media filtration.
- **Cooling water filtration** — strainer inserts for cooling-water systems, where the basket is the first filter in the line.
Each application links back to the same enquiry: basket shape, mesh, support body, rim, handle, bottom and service conditions.
## Next step
Send the information you already have — a photograph of the complete basket and a view of the equipment area where it sits, or a drawing. These six questions are what we ask next:
1. Basket shape and main dimensions — diameter and height.
2. Filtering mesh and supporting body — mesh / opening and the perforated support.
3. Rim, flange and seating area — flange diameter and how the basket seats.
4. Handle and bottom construction.
5. Service conditions — fluid, temperature, pressure, flow.
6. Quantity — the removable basket only, or additional components; and a photo of the housing seating area.
Tools to send with your enquiry:
- **Blank dimension drawing** `blank-dimension-P05-basket.png` — fill in diameter, height, flange diameter, mesh count and perforated support and send it back.
- **RFQ sheet** (P05) — the same fields as a PDF, for buyers who prefer a form.
- **Sample** — samples are available on request; availability, fee and lead time depend on the product, size and quantity — send your specification and we will confirm. Standard sizes can usually be supplied quickly; custom sizes are made to your drawing.

## Questions About This Product
### Should I include a photograph of the filter housing?
A view of the seating or installation area is useful. Please identify whether you need the removable basket only or additional components.
### Which basket details should the photographs show?
Show the complete body, opening, rim or flange, handle and bottom. Include the mesh lining and supporting surface where they are visible.
### Can a dimensional sketch be used instead of a full drawing?
A sketch with the known dimensions and units is a useful starting point. Any necessary connection or construction details can be discussed afterwards.
