Y-Strainers
Y-Strainers
(OP)
Hello,
My requirement for Y-strainer is CS SW 800# but the supplier is offering CS SW CL600. What is the difference? I think CL600 is only used if you want it flanged end and 800# API is used for NPT and SW. Am I right?

Class 800 is not a tabulated ASME designation but is widely used apparently for SW and thread end valves and apparently defined in API 602.
It is somewhere between class 600 and 900 so a class 600 item will have a lower pressure rating than a class 800 one. If all you need is a class 600 rating (100 bar at ambient temps) then you'll be ok.
