When considering the size and shape of the particulates that you’ll need to remove, choose a mesh that is slightly smaller than what you’ll need. This will help to remove broken down contaminants as well as those that could have the ability to deform to slip through the mesh. It may seem like it would make sense to choose a strainer or filter with a much finer mesh than needed, but the finer the strainer or filter, the more frequently it will need to be cleaned. Frequency of Maintenance Determines Configuration

It is not always the case that the strainer size should be equal to the line size. The strainer size should be determined from the potential dirt volume that the unit expects to retain and the maximum allowable pressure drop for the strainer. An undersized strainer will result in increased maintenance required to continually clean the elements. In the worse instances it can create pressure drop problems in a process stream. Solids Content Yes, Mazda are washing their hands of our Mazda 6 as well. I think it's disgusting you can spend so much on a car, that it's been serviced at every interval. Isn't there a known fault with the Ford /PSV 1.6 tdci whereby the injector seal fails thus causing a bleed of diesel and carbonisation which finds its way into the turbo oil feed with subsequent catastrophic failure? The belt change interval on the 1.2 PSA Puretech engine has reduced from 112,500 miles/120 months down to 64,000 miles/72 months OK, please advise: does the strainer "simply" prise off ? .... or is there a hidden retaining bolt or subtle unscrewing required ?Finally, automatic strainers have baskets that are self-cleaning. This type of strainer is permanent in application. The body of the strainer is typically made out of materials such as iron, steel, stainless steel, and other specified materials. The filter or basket of the strainer is made of stainless steel. Rosen (Ed.), Erwin M. (1975). The Peterson automotive troubleshooting & repair manual. Grosset & Dunlap, Inc. ISBN 978-0-448-11946-5.

It is always recommended to seek expert advice from the respective filter and strainer specialist for each application. Specification Requirements I really think you have done very well, I don't think you would have won a very expensive court case, but then I am not a judge :-) Kitchen Drain in Weathered Copper - Solid Copper Basket Strainer 3.5" - DR600WC - (Not for garbage disposal)Start with a clean catch basin (pot or container) with enough capacity to hold all the oil you have to strain. Make sure it can withstand the temperature of the oil if it is still warm. Round food storage containers sized to fit the strainers. These will be used as spacers between the strainers. If you use 2 strainers you need 1 container. 3 strainers requires 2 containers. The container tops are not used. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Early automobile engines did not have oil filters, having only a rudimentary mesh sieve placed at the oil pump intake. Consequently, along with the generally low quality of oil available, very frequent oil changes were required. The Purolator oil filter was the first oil filter for the automobile; it revolutionized the filtration industry, and is still in production today. [1] The Purolator was a bypass filter, whereby most of the oil was pumped from the oil sump directly to the engine's working parts, while a smaller proportion of the oil was sent through the filter via a second flow path, filtering the oil over time. [2] Bypass and full-flow [ edit ] Full-flow [ edit ] I hope someone out there will take mazda to court over this as for me I don't have the cash to risk on a big court case. Apparently this is not just a maxes problem plenty of Audi and Toyota landcrusers out there with similar problems too.
