Meter Protection Basket Strainer
Jamison Products meter protection basket strainers help protect meters, provers, and downstream equipment from debris that can disrupt flow measurement and process performance.
From Jamison Products, an Allied Reliability Brand
Jamison Products, an Allied Reliability brand, designs and manufactures basket strainers for flow meter systems where debris control, basket retention, and reliable operation are critical. These strainers are available in standard and fabricated configurations to match operating conditions, filtration requirements, and system design needs.
Engineered Products
Meter Protection Basket Strainer
A vital component in the flow meter system is the meter protection basket strainer, which protects the Meter and the prover, and additional components downstream. Jamison Products is a worldwide leader in meter protection basket strainers and duplex strainers, with patented designs to improve system performance.
Jamison Products is involved in providing and testing strainers for the API Ad Hoc Committee on Flow Conditioning For Turbine Meters. This has contributed to developing a new basket strainer, the Jamison Posi-Lock™, which is explicitly designed to improve process performance and prevent bypass caused by movement of the strainer basket in service.

THE CHALLENGE
Protect Flow Measurement Assets from Contamination and Basket Bypass
Metering systems can be sensitive to debris, basket movement, and upstream contaminants. If solids reach meters, provers, pumps, compressors, or control components, the result can be inaccurate measurement, equipment damage, unplanned service work, and reduced process confidence.
- Debris can damage pumps, meters, compressors, valves, and downstream components.
- Improper basket fit or movement can create bypass risk and reduce filtration effectiveness.
- Maintenance teams need strainer configurations that match operating pressure, connection style, material compatibility, and cleaning requirements.
