Abstract
A fluid strainer element capable of withstanding high differential pressures when used and which facilitates straining of fluid flowing through the continuous side wall and one end wall of the element. The strainer is generally cup-shaped and includes an inner cup-shaped support structure having staggered perforations extending through the surfaces thereof. An outer cup-shaped strainer structure constructed of wire mesh is closely received over the support structure with the open ends of the two structures being substantially coextensive with each other. An annular binding ring is closely received over the structure open ends and is rigidly affixed thereto. The mesh size of the straining structure may be varied as is desired and/or necessary for any use and normal fluid flow through the strainer is from outside to inside the element.
