🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic purpose of strainers vs. filters in hydraulic systems • Where in the system strainers are typically installed (relative to the pump and reservoir) • Difference between large solid particles and fine contaminants

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of contamination does the MOST damage to a pump if it enters directly from the reservoir. • Consider what device (strainer or filter) handles the very fine contaminants that can pass through larger screens. • Ask yourself: which component is usually the FIRST line of defense in the suction line from the tank?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes stopping larger solid particles rather than fine soluble contamination. • Recall that filters usually deal with finer particles under pressure, while strainers are more like coarse screens on the suction side. • Eliminate any option that talks about protecting components from fine or soluble contaminants, which is not the main job of a strainer.
