What kind of strainer are you using that you think a spacer ring can replace it?
Strainers are necessary components for proper operation of pumps and
compressors, why temporary only during
commissioning? What alien station is this installation located at?

Subject: [PipingDesign] temporary strainer removal
Hello everybody
Temporary strainers are specified on piping connected to pumps and
compressors during commissioning.They are placed between two flanges, so
there is a gasket specified on both sides of the strainer.If the
thickness of the strainer plate is 't' mm , then the total space between
the two flanges is (6 + t )mm .(taking gasket thickness = 3mm ).The same
is reflected on the isometrics.
Now , after commissioning , when this strainer is removed , how is the gap created by removal of the strainer ( 3+t )mm compensated for ?
Is a spacer ring of thickness 't' installed in place of the strainer.? If this is not the case , then strain is being imposed on the equipment nozzle for which there is no accounting during stress analysis.
Regards,
