Weamco is a trusted manufacturer of high-performance pipeline equipment, delivering reliable solutions that keep critical systems running smoothly across a wide range of industries. From durable strainers designed to protect sensitive components, to precision-engineered meter provers that ensure accurate measurement, to sphere detector switches that support efficient pipeline maintenance, Weamco’s product line is built with quality, longevity, and real-world performance in mind. With decades of engineering expertise and a commitment to custom fabrication, Weamco provides the equipment operators depend on to maintain safety, accuracy, and operational excellence in every pipeline application.
When it comes to maintaining the efficiency and longevity of industrial pipeline systems, few components are as essential as strainers. Even fluids that appear clean can carry small particles capable of damaging pumps, valves, regulators, and other vital equipment. Tee strainers—a specialty within Weamco’s pipeline equipment lineup—play a critical role in trapping unwanted debris before it causes costly failures or downtime.
A tee strainer is an inline filtration device designed to remove solids from liquid or gas flow within a pipeline. Built in a “T” shape, it houses a basket that captures debris as the product flows through the system. This simple yet effective mechanism helps protect sensitive downstream components and keeps the overall system running at peak performance. At Weamco, our tee strainers are engineered for reliability in demanding environments where durability, accessibility, and long service life are essential.
Because they provide dependable filtration without interrupting operational flow, Weamco tee strainers are used across a wide variety of systems. They are commonly installed ahead of pumps, compressors, gas regulators, filter banks, and other components that must remain contaminant-free to operate correctly. These strainers are also a standard choice in HVAC systems, water service lines, boiler feed water applications, and general industrial piping. Their design makes them ideal for systems where the product is relatively clean and where periodic blowdown for basket cleaning is acceptable.
One of the standout models in our lineup is the TEE-112, a robust strainer built to meet the needs of modern industrial pipelines. This model is designed to ASME B31.4 standards, ensuring compliance with widely recognized industry requirements. For operations with specialized needs, optional design codes are available upon request. The TEE-112 also offers quick-opening closure options that make maintenance faster and safer, allowing operators to remove and clean the basket with minimal downtime. Its performance is enhanced by open-area ratios based on 40% open-area basket media, ensuring reliable flow characteristics. For larger or uniquely configured pipeline systems, custom sizes and configurations can be manufactured to meet project-specific demands.
High-quality tee strainers play an important role in protecting your equipment investment. By capturing solids before they reach pumps, valves, compressors, and other sensitive components, tee strainers help extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs. A clean system also performs more efficiently, as particles that restrict flow or create turbulence are removed before they become a problem. Since tee strainers are designed for accessibility, routine cleaning and maintenance are straightforward, helping reduce downtime and maintain consistent operational performance.
