At Weamco, we have established our company as one of the top manufacturers of meter provers, strainers, sphere detector switches, and other products for pipeline systems. From our facility in Sapulpa, OK, we produce a majority of our products in-house, ensuring every part meets strict quality standards. With our experienced team and American-made craftsmanship, you can rest assured that your equipment is built to perform reliably in the field.
When time is of the essence and permanent filtration components are still in transit or under fabrication, our start-up strainers provide the perfect temporary solution. Designed for easy installation and high performance, these strainers help prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other equipment during system testing or commissioning. See our start-up strainers here!
Strainers play a vital role in keeping debris from entering your pipeline system, and our cone strainers are engineered to deliver reliable performance from day one. Commonly used during system start-up, flushing, and hydrostatic testing, these strainers act as a critical line of defense—capturing scale, welding slag, rust, and other particulates that could otherwise damage pumps, compressors, valves, or instrumentation downstream.
Our cone strainers are available in multiple standard sizes and are designed to fit precisely inside flange bolt hole circles, making them easy to install without any field modification. Compatible with standard weight pipes for #150 and #300 ASME as well as extra strong pipe for #600 ASME ratings, they provide flexible use across a wide range of pressures and pipe specifications.
In addition to their temporary use, cone strainers are often chosen as semi-permanent or permanent filtration solutions for low-pressure systems or applications with minimal solid contamination. They are available in various mesh sizes and materials, including stainless steel, to meet specific fluid compatibility or filtration requirements. Whether installed in a vertical or horizontal run, our cone strainers maintain flow integrity while offering effective, low-cost protection during early system operation.
When your jobsite demands increased debris-holding capacity or extended system protection, Weamco’s truncated basket strainers offer a rugged and highly effective solution. Like cone strainers, these strainers are ideal for temporary use during system commissioning or pre-operational flushing. However, their basket-shaped design allows for greater particulate collection and reduced pressure drop, making them especially well-suited for systems prone to higher levels of debris.
Truncated basket strainers are engineered with the same compatibility in mind—sized to fit weld neck flanges and available for #150, #300, and #600 ASME pipe specifications. Their cylindrical body with a flat top allows for enhanced surface area and more even flow distribution through the mesh, providing a higher level of filtration efficiency.
Offered in a range of perforation or mesh sizes and available in various metals, including carbon steel and stainless steel, these strainers are highly customizable to meet application-specific needs. In fact, in certain low-flow or low-risk installations, many operators choose to leave them in place as long-term filtration solutions. Their sturdy construction and ease of removal for cleaning or replacement make them a favorite in both temporary and extended operations.
With our temporary and start up strainers, you will be able to ensure you get your site running, or that it stays functional as you wait for permanent strainers. Contact us at Weamco today for more information!
