Titan BS35 Simplex Strainers

Cast Steel Basket Strainers

Titan BS35 simplex basket strainers are an inexpensive cast carbon steel design. Available in 3/8" to 8" sizes, the BS35 has a bolted basket-chamber cover (tools required for removal) and a drain plug.

 

Eaton Model 72 vs. Titan BS35 Cast Steel Simplex Basket Strainers

Comparing strainers solely by connection size can be misleading. Pricing and lead time are common decision factors, yet the flow coefficient (Cv) values for the 3" to 8" sizes are somewhat lower on the Titan BS35. You can therefore expect to clean the BS35 baskets more frequently than the Eaton Model 72 in those sizes.

 

Our differential-pressure calculator makes performance comparisons straightforward. Cost and lead time matter, but performance and features should be given equal weight. The remaining sizes have similar Cv values, so the decision typically reduces to pricing, lead time and features.

 

The Eaton Model 72 uses a machined strainer basket ring, while the Titan BS35 relies on an o-ring to seal the basket to the housing. The o-ring can improve seal reliability and resilience, but if temperature or chemical compatibility is a concern the Eaton design may be preferable. The Eaton Model 72 employs a clamp-style closure; the Titan BS35 uses a bolted cover and therefore requires tools for basket access.

 

In summary, the Titan BS35 will usually cost less and ship from stock. Verify that the clean differential pressure at your intended flow rate does not exceed 2 PSI.
