ITEM NAME:   STRAINER ELEMENT,SE

DEFINITION:  A replaceable device designed to remove solid particles from flowing

             liquids.  The removal of particles is accomplished by porous material

             (metallic or non-metallic), wire mesh, perforated metal, or the like,

             constructed so the liquid can flow through the device while the solid

             particles are retained.  It is designed to fit into a STRAINER,

             SEDIMENT (or similar cavity).  It may have a reinforcement to prevent

             collapsing, distorting or rupturing.  The degree of particles removed

             must be nominally rated at 50 microns, or more, or absolutely rated at

             75 microns, or more.  See also FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID.
