Oil Strainers refer to a
coarse-mesh metal screen, which are used for trapping foreign
and impure particulate matter present in oil. This device makes
sure that the foreign matter like lost washers, nuts and bolts
does not enter into the oil pump. Oil strainers are generally
located between the oil reservoir space and oil pump. These
strainers are mostly made of stainless steel, aluminum, cast
bronze, brass, chrome, copper, nickel, platinum, plastic,
wrought iron, polyvinyl chloride and other materials.
