Oil Basket Strainers
A vital component in any oil system is the oil basket strainer which not only protects the Pump/Meter/Compressor but the additional components downstream. Jamison Products is a worldwide leader in heavy and sweet crude oil basket strainers and duplex strainers, with patented designs to improve system performance.
From Jamison Products, an Allied Reliability Brand
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 the development of 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
Reduce Debris-Related Risk in Oil Handling and Pipeline Systems
Oil service applications can expose pumps, meters, compressors, and valves to debris that increases wear, disrupts flow, and drives avoidable maintenance. A properly selected oil basket strainer helps remove harmful solids before they reach critical downstream assets.
- 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.
