The cone strainer is a startup strainer, also known as conical strainer or temporary strainer, and is installed in a system to remove unwanted debris from the process stream. These strainers come in conical as well as basket shape along with plate strainers.

The cone strainer is installed to protect a flow meter, pump, control or relief valves or other pieces of equipment during startup.

During construction, materials may become trapped in the line. These materials could be welding slag, welding rod, pieces of wood, cigarettes, rocks, etc. Many pieces of equipment will become damaged if this debris enters it. After start up is completed, the startup strainer should be removed.
