Real Specifications
| Fluidtrol FRP basket strainer laminate | 5-layer schedule: chemical barrier (10 mil Nexus veil), anti-wicking barrier (100 mil chopped strand), 55° filament-wound structural layer, repeat chemical barrier, 10 mil gel coat exterior | fluidtrol.md |
| Fluidtrol FRP temperature tiers | up to 180°F, or 180-220°F | fluidtrol.md |
| Fil-Trek 98 Series automatic strainer methanol rating | -50°F methanol service | fil-trek-filtration.md |
| Fil-Trek 98 Series hazardous-area control tier (L3) | NEMA 7 or Pressure+Purge panel for classified-area installations | fil-trek-filtration.md |
Fil-Trek's 98 Series automatic strainer self-cleans on a differential-pressure setpoint rather than a timer, so blowdown fires exactly when solids loading actually rises — a fixed-timer cycle either wastes water on a clean line or lets solids build past the setpoint on a dirty one.
Chemical process strainers fail in two different ways depending on the chemistry — mechanical breach in an unlined body, or thermal failure below the material's rated floor, like methanol service at -50°F — which is why Fil-Trek's 98 Series and Fluidtrol's FRP line both carry named temperature/chemistry ratings instead of one generic pressure class.
